GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Geforce GTX 1080 Ti

Intro

Compare that to the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, which features GPU core speed of 1480 MHz, and 11264 MB of GDDR5X RAM set to run at 1376 MHz through a 352-bit bus. It also is comprised of 3584 Stream Processors, 224 Texture Address Units, and 88 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		250 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (43%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti should be a little bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super in general. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		495616 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 36864 (8%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 1080 Ti should be a lot (more or less 66%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		331520 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 131600 (66%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		130240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 36160 (38%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video 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 amount 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 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 maximum fill rate.
