GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which comes with GPU core speed of 1470 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2176 SPUs, 136 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
	Difference: 5 Watts (3%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be 75% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 196608 (75%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti should be much (approximately 22%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 44344 (22%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be a little bit (approximately 9%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8768 (9%)

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 max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of 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 better this number, the better the card will be at handling 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 video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
