Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050		75 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 140 Watts (187%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is 300% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1050 in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be a lot (about 374%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		54160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 202640 (374%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is quite a bit (approximately 137%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GTX 1050, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		43328 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 59392 (137%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends 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.
