GeForce 830M vs GeForce RTX 3060

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 3060, which has GPU core speed of 1320 MHz, and (Unknown) MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1875 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 3584 Stream Processors, 112 TAUs, and 48 ROPs.

GeForce 830M		16464 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 131376 (798%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 is a lot (approximately 670%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce 830M, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 830M		8232 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 55128 (670%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core 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 processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant 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 get to the max fill rate.
