GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1650 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1937 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 3072 Stream Processors, 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

Performance-wise, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should in theory be a little bit superior to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super in general. (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 will be quite a bit (approximately 58%) faster with regards to anisotropic 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

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is superior to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, but only just. (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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip 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 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 drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
