GeForce GTX 1070 vs GeForce RTX 2070 Super

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, which features GPU clock speed of 1605 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1070		150 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 65 Watts (43%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be 75% faster than the GeForce GTX 1070 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be quite a bit (about 42%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1070. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070		180720 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 76080 (42%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be a little bit (more or less 7%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GTX 1070, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070		96384 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 6336 (7%)

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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster 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 number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
