GeForce RTX 2070 vs GeForce RTX 2070 Super

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, which features GPU clock speed of 1605 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2070		175 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (23%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so in theory they should perform exactly the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be much (more or less 26%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2070. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		203040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 53760 (26%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is just a bit (approximately 14%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2070, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		90240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12480 (14%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill 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 reach the max fill rate.
