GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
	Difference: 360448 (367%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be a lot (approximately 259%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 144240 (259%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be quite a bit (approximately 238%) better at AA than the GeForce GTX 1630, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 66240 (238%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate 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 outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output 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 potential to reach the max fill rate.
