GeForce RTX 2060 vs Geforce GTX 670

Intro

Compare all of that to the Geforce GTX 670, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 915 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1500 MHz on this card. It features 1344 SPUs as well as 112 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
Geforce GTX 670		170 Watts
	Difference: 10 Watts (6%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce RTX 2060 should be much faster than the Geforce GTX 670 overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 670		192000 MB/sec
	Difference: 152064 (79%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 should be quite a bit (more or less 60%) better at texture filtering than the Geforce GTX 670. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		102480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 61320 (60%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 should be a lot (more or less 124%) better at AA than the Geforce GTX 670, and able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 36240 (124%)

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 in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs 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 rate is also dependant 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.
