GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which comes with core clock speeds of 1470 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2176 SPUs along with 136 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be a lot (more or less 394%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 159440 (394%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be a lot (about 365%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 1030, and able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 73840 (365%)

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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better 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 applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
