GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Intro

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1470 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2176 SPUs along with 136 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1350 MHz, and 11264 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 352-bit bus. It also features 4352 Stream Processors, 272 TAUs, and 88 Raster Operation Units.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, 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 processed in one second. This 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 video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
