GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which has core speeds of 1650 MHz on the GPU, and 1937 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 3072 SPUs as well as 192 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		62080 MB/sec
	Difference: 445824 (718%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be quite a bit (approximately 662%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G92). (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		41600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 275200 (662%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is superior to the GeForce 8800 GTS (G92), by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		10400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 95200 (915%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of 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 higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number 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 - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
