GeForce GTX 550 Ti		98496 MB/sec
	Difference: 360256 (366%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be much (approximately 594%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 550 Ti		28800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 171120 (594%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be quite a bit (more or less 336%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 550 Ti		21600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 72480 (336%)

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 data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at 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 per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
