GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

Intro

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER comes with a GPU core speed of 1650 MHz, and the 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM runs at 1937 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 3072 SPUs, 192 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, which comes with core speeds of 1365 MHz on the GPU, and 1188 MHz on the 12288 MB of GDDR6X RAM. It features 10240 SPUs as well as 320 Texture Address Units and 112 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 250 Watts
GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 350 Watts
Difference: 100 Watts (40%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti should in theory perform a lot faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 934297 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 507904 MB/sec
Difference: 426393 (84%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will be a lot (approximately 38%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 436800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 316800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 120000 (38%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 152880 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 105600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 47280 (45%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
