GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare that 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 model. It features 2176 SPUs along with 136 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1050		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is much (more or less 269%) better at AF 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 (approximately 117%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GTX 1050, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (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 max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units 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 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 get to the maximum fill rate.
