GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which has a clock speed of 1650 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1937 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and uses a 12 nm design. It features 3072 SPUs, 192 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (43%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be 11% quicker than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 49152 (11%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be a lot (more or less 58%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 116880 (58%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be just a bit (approximately 12%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11520 (12%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
