GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

The GeForce GT 1030 makes use of a 16 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1265 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1502 MHz on this particular model. It features 384 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which has a core clock speed of 1650 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1937 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and uses a 12 nm design. It is made up of 3072 SPUs, 192 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 1030 30 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 250 Watts
Difference: 220 Watts (733%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should in theory be quite a bit superior to the GeForce GT 1030 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 507904 MB/sec
GeForce GT 1030 49152 MB/sec
Difference: 458752 (933%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be much (about 683%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030 40480 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 276320 (683%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030 20240 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 85360 (422%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
