Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be 56% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 163840 (56%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be quite a bit (approximately 78%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		144000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 112800 (78%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		72000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30720 (43%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
