GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1470 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2176 SPUs, 136 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

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

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should in theory be quite a bit better than the GeForce GTX 1050 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be much (approximately 269%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		54160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 145760 (269%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is quite a bit (more or less 117%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1050, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		43328 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 50752 (117%)

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 largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, 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 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 processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
