Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 240 GDDR5		70 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (129%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2060 should be 532% faster than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5		54400 MB/sec
	Difference: 289664 (532%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 will be much (more or less 831%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5		17600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 146200 (831%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 should be much (more or less 1389%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 61120 (1389%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's 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 many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
