	Difference: 421888 (490%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is a lot (more or less 374%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		66816 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 249984 (374%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		33408 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 72192 (216%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount 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 number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
