GeForce RTX 2070 vs GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which comes with a core clock frequency of 2310 MHz and a GDDR6X memory frequency of 1313 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit bus, and uses a 4 nm design. It features 7680 SPUs, 240 Texture Address Units, and 80 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce RTX 2070		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 57344 (13%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be much (more or less 173%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2070. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		203040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 351360 (173%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		90240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 94560 (105%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling 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 one 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 - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
