GeForce RTX 2060 vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1470 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2176 Stream Processors, 136 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 114688 (33%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be much (about 22%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 36120 (22%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be quite a bit (approximately 44%) better at FSAA than the GeForce RTX 2060, and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 28560 (44%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, 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 by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few 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.
