GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1650 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 1937 MHz on this particular card. It features 3072 SPUs as well as 192 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is quite a bit (approximately 683%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 276320 (683%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is quite a bit (about 422%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GT 1030, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (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 largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core 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 processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
