GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Geforce GTX 1080 Ti

Intro

Compare all that to the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, which features a core clock frequency of 1480 MHz and a GDDR5X memory speed of 1376 MHz. It also features a 352-bit bus, and uses a 16 nm design. It features 3584 SPUs, 224 TAUs, and 88 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		250 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (43%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti will be 8% faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		495616 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 36864 (8%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 1080 Ti will be quite a bit (more or less 66%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		331520 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 131600 (66%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		130240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 36160 (38%)

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 max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
