GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs GeForce RTX 2080

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 2080, which features GPU clock speed of 1515 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2944 SPUs, 184 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so in theory they should perform the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 is a little bit (more or less 9%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080		278760 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21960 (9%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a better choice, but only just. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080		96960 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 5760 (6%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
