GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

The GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 has a GPU core speed of 550 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory runs at 800 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 32 SPUs, 16 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1470 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run 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 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 50 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super 175 Watts
Difference: 125 Watts (250%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be 1692% quicker than the GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 458752 MB/sec
GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 25600 MB/sec
Difference: 433152 (1692%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be much (more or less 2172%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 8800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 191120 (2172%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is quite a bit (approximately 2038%) more effective at AA than the GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 4400 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 89680 (2038%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
