GeForce 8800 GS vs GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which has clock speeds of 1350 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 11264 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 4352 SPUs along with 272 Texture Address Units and 88 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce 8800 GS		38400 MB/sec
	Difference: 592384 (1543%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti will be quite a bit (more or less 1291%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce 8800 GS. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		367200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GS		26400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 340800 (1291%)

Pixel Rate

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

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		118800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GS		6600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 112200 (1700%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
