GeForce GTX 650 vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

The GeForce GTX 650 makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1058 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1250 MHz on this particular model. It features 384 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which features GPU core speed of 1470 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2176 SPUs, 136 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video 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 the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
