GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which features clock speeds of 1575 MHz on the GPU, and 1188 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6X memory. It features 6144 SPUs as well as 192 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
	Difference: 114995 (23%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be a little bit (approximately 5%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 14400 (5%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will be quite a bit (about 43%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 45600 (43%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
