Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2080		215 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
	Difference: 35 Watts (16%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should theoretically be just a bit superior to the GeForce RTX 2080 in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is a bit (more or less 14%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce RTX 2080. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080		278760 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 38040 (14%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080		96960 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8640 (9%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
