GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs GeForce RTX 2070 Super

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, which has GPU core speed of 1605 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2560 Stream Processors, 160 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (23%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same memory bandwidth, so theoretically they should have the same performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be a lot (about 28%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 56880 (28%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a small bit (about 9%) more effective at AA than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8640 (9%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock 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 one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). 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 potential to get to the max fill rate.
