GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2060

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 2060, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1365 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also features 1920 Stream Processors, 120 TAUs, and 48 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
	Difference: 20 Watts (13%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 is 31% faster than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 81920 (31%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 49%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 80464 (49%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is much (approximately 57%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce RTX 2060, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 37328 (57%)

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 max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in a 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 - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
