GeForce GTX 950M vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1470 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 2176 SPUs as well as 136 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 950M		55 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
	Difference: 120 Watts (218%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be 1334% quicker than the GeForce GTX 950M in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 950M		32000 MB/sec
	Difference: 426752 (1334%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be quite a bit (more or less 447%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 950M. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 950M		36560 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 163360 (447%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be a lot (approximately 543%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 950M, and also able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 950M		14624 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 79456 (543%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
