GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1350 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 4352 SPUs along with 272 Texture Address Units and 88 ROPs.

GeForce GT 1030		49152 MB/sec
	Difference: 581632 (1183%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti will be much (approximately 807%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		367200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 326720 (807%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		118800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 98560 (487%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the 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 in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher 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 card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
