GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which features a core clock frequency of 1650 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1937 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and uses a 12 nm design. It is comprised of 3072 SPUs, 192 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		40 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
	Difference: 210 Watts (525%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		6400 MB/sec
	Difference: 501504 (7836%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be much (about 17500%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM). (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		1800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 315000 (17500%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		900 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 104700 (11633%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should 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 anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock 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 rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
