GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which comes with clock speeds of 1650 MHz on the GPU, and 1937 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 3072 SPUs as well as 192 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 393216 (343%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be a lot (approximately 412%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 254880 (412%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing 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 GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 64320 (156%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its 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 clock 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 quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
