GeForce 8600 GS (OEM) vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which has a clock frequency of 1650 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1937 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 12 nm design. It features 3072 SPUs, 192 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

GeForce 8600 GS (OEM)		8640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 308160 (3567%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be quite a bit (approximately 2344%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce 8600 GS (OEM), and will be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8600 GS (OEM)		4320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 101280 (2344%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many 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.
