GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1650 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1937 MHz on this specific card. It features 3072 SPUs as well as 192 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
	Difference: 175 Watts (233%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be 343% faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 393216 (343%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be quite a bit (about 412%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 254880 (412%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 64320 (156%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at 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 the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
