GeForce RTX 2070		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 49152 (11%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be a lot (about 56%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 2070. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		203040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 113760 (56%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high 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 2070		90240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 15360 (17%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, 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 is calculated by multiplying the total 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. 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 output rate is also dependant 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.
