Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2080		215 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
	Difference: 35 Watts (16%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be 11% quicker than the GeForce RTX 2080 in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2080		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 49152 (11%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is a little bit (about 14%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2080. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080		278760 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 38040 (14%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be a small bit (about 9%) better at AA than the GeForce RTX 2080, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080		96960 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8640 (9%)

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 maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. 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 lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
