GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs GeForce RTX 2070 Super

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, which features clock speeds of 1605 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (23%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be much (more or less 28%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 56880 (28%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a better choice, but only just. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8640 (9%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 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 higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
