GeForce RTX 2060 vs GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which has clock speeds of 1575 MHz on the GPU, and 1188 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6X RAM. It features 6144 SPUs as well as 192 Texture Address Units and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		290 Watts
	Difference: 130 Watts (81%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, in theory, should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		622899 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 278835 (81%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti should be quite a bit (about 85%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 138600 (85%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 85680 (131%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock 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 processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
