GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare all of 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 features 2176 Stream Processors, 136 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
GeForce GTX 980 Ti		250 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (43%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 980 Ti		336000 MB/sec
	Difference: 122752 (37%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be a little bit (more or less 14%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 980 Ti		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 23920 (14%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 980 Ti is the winner, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

GeForce GTX 980 Ti		96000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1920 (2%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
