GeForce 8800 GT 1GB vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which has core clock speeds of 1650 MHz on the GPU, and 1937 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 3072 SPUs along with 192 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		105 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
	Difference: 145 Watts (138%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be 782% quicker than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		57600 MB/sec
	Difference: 450304 (782%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be much (more or less 843%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		33600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 283200 (843%)

Pixel Rate

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

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		9600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 96000 (1000%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the 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 amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant 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 maximum fill rate.
