GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2070 Super

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, which has GPU clock speed of 1605 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2560 Stream Processors, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 35 Watts (19%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super should theoretically be much better than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 196608 (75%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be just a bit (more or less 5%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12536 (5%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 128 (0%)

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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better 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 are processed per second. This 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 graphics card will be at handling 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 that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
