GeForce GTX 1050 3GB vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1470 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 2176 SPUs along with 136 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		75 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (133%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should in theory be a lot superior to the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		86016 MB/sec
	Difference: 372736 (433%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is quite a bit (more or less 199%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		66816 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 133104 (199%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		33408 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 60672 (182%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock 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 rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
