GeForce RTX 2070 vs GeForce RTX 2070 Super

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, which uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1605 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

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

Memory Bandwidth

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be much (more or less 26%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 2070. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		203040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 53760 (26%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be a bit (more or less 14%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce RTX 2070, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		90240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12480 (14%)

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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as 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, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
