Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		200 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 15 Watts (8%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be -100% quicker than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		(Unknown) MB/sec
	Difference: 458752 (-100%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be a small bit (about 20%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		214320 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 42480 (20%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is superior to the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		112800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 10080 (10%)

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 max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 can be applied per second. This number is calculated 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 applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
