GeForce 9500 GT DDR2 vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare those specifications 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 memory runs at a speed of 1937 MHz on this card. It features 3072 SPUs along with 192 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 9500 GT DDR2		50 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
	Difference: 200 Watts (400%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be 3074% faster than the GeForce 9500 GT DDR2 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
GeForce 9500 GT DDR2		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 491904 (3074%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be quite a bit (approximately 3500%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 9500 GT DDR2. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9500 GT DDR2		8800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 308000 (3500%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is much (approximately 2300%) better at FSAA than the GeForce 9500 GT DDR2, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9500 GT DDR2		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 101200 (2300%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
