GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which has GPU clock speed of 1650 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 1937 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 3072 SPUs, 192 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 276320 (683%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is superior to the GeForce GT 1030, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 85360 (422%)

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 max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once 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, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
