GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 vs GeForce RTX 2060

Intro

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

	Difference: 311680 (962%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 is quite a bit (approximately 1538%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 220 GDDR3		10000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 153800 (1538%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 is a lot (about 1210%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 220 GDDR3		5000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 60520 (1210%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If 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 high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling 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 the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
