Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will be quite a bit (more or less 51%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 102480 (51%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is superior to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 57120 (61%)

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 largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
