GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs GeForce RTX 2080

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 2080, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1515 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 2944 SPUs as well as 184 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so in theory they should have the same performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 should be a small bit (more or less 9%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080		278760 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21960 (9%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a little bit (approximately 6%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce RTX 2080, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080		96960 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 5760 (6%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better 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 are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling 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 the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated 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 rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
