GeForce GTX 965M vs GeForce RTX 2060

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 2060, which comes with core clock speeds of 1365 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 1920 SPUs as well as 120 Texture Address Units and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 965M		60416 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 103384 (171%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 is much (about 117%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 965M, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 965M		30208 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 35312 (117%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock 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, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
