GeForce GTX 950 vs GeForce RTX 2070 Super

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, which features a clock speed of 1605 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 12 nm design. It is made up of 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 950		90 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 125 Watts (139%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 950 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 950		105728 MB/sec
	Difference: 353024 (334%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a lot (more or less 422%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 950. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 950		49152 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 207648 (422%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 950		32768 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 69952 (213%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs 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 rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
