GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs GeForce RTX 2070

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 is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2176 SPUs as well as 136 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2070, which features core speeds of 1410 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same memory bandwidth, so in theory they should perform exactly the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 should be a small bit (about 2%) more effective 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

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be a little bit (approximately 4%) better at AA than the GeForce RTX 2070, and also able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as 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, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
