Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		70 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
	Difference: 180 Watts (257%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be 834% faster than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		54400 MB/sec
	Difference: 453504 (834%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be much (more or less 1700%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		17600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 299200 (1700%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be quite a bit (approximately 2300%) better at AA than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 101200 (2300%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
