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 be much faster than the GeForce GT 1030 in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be quite a bit (more or less 534%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a lot (approximately 408%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GT 1030, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result 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 AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total 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 applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. 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, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
