GeForce GTX 560		128128 MB/sec
	Difference: 379776 (296%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is quite a bit (more or less 598%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560		45360 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 271440 (598%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be a lot (about 307%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 560, and also able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560		25920 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 79680 (307%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, 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 are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core 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 maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number 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 drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
