GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB		143 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
	Difference: 107 Watts (75%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be 702% faster than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB		63360 MB/sec
	Difference: 444544 (702%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be quite a bit (more or less 1187%) better at AF than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB		24624 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 292176 (1187%)

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 (G80) 320MB, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB		10260 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 95340 (929%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
