GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which features a core clock speed of 1650 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1937 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 12 nm design. It is made up of 3072 SPUs, 192 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 49152 (11%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be a lot (approximately 58%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 116880 (58%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the winner, though only just barely. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11520 (12%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
