GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs GeForce RTX 2070

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2070, which comes with a clock frequency of 1410 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and uses a 12 nm design. It is comprised of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same bandwidth, so theoretically they should have the same performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 should be just a bit (about 2%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070		203040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 3120 (2%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a better choice, though only just barely. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		90240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 3840 (4%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. 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 many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
