GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce RTX 2070 Super

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1605 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 1030		30 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 185 Watts (617%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super, in theory, should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 1030 overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GT 1030		49152 MB/sec
	Difference: 409600 (833%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be much (approximately 534%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 216320 (534%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 82480 (408%)

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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core 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 video card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
