GeForce GTX Titan X vs GeForce RTX 3060

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 3060, which comes with a clock speed of 1320 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1875 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 8 nm design. It is comprised of 3584 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 48 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 3060		170 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 80 Watts (47%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3060, in theory, should be a small bit faster than the GeForce GTX Titan X overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		368640 MB/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		336000 MB/sec
	Difference: 32640 (10%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X will be a lot (about 30%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 3060. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		192000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 44160 (30%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan X is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 32640 (52%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
