GeForce GT 430 1GB vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

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

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430 1GB		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 305600 (2729%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be much (more or less 3671%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GT 430 1GB, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 1GB		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 102800 (3671%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
