Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

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

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3060 should in theory perform just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX Titan Black in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black should be much (about 44%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 3060. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 65520 (44%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 is quite a bit (approximately 48%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GTX Titan Black, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20688 (48%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses 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, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
