Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 35 Watts (19%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be 75% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 196608 (75%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be a bit (about 5%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12536 (5%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a better choice, though not by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 128 (0%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type 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, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
