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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is quite a bit (about 485%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		54160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 262640 (485%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		43328 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 62272 (144%)

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 transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
