GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1650 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a speed of 1937 MHz on this particular card. It features 3072 SPUs as well as 192 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be a lot (about 58%) more effective at 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

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is a bit (about 12%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and will be able to handle higher resolutions better. (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 moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could 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 Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
