GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1575 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6X memory set to run at 1188 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 6144 SPUs, 192 Texture Address Units, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
	Difference: 114995 (23%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be a small bit (more or less 5%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 14400 (5%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti should be much (more or less 43%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 45600 (43%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number 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 texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
