GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1350 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 4352 SPUs as well as 272 TAUs and 88 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti should in theory be quite a bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		630784 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
	Difference: 122880 (24%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti will be a little bit (more or less 16%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		367200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 50400 (16%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is superior to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, but not by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		118800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13200 (13%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, 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 applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could 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 ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also 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 of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
