Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 1030		30 Watts
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		290 Watts
	Difference: 260 Watts (867%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will be 1167% quicker than the GeForce GT 1030 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		622899 MB/sec
GeForce GT 1030		49152 MB/sec
	Difference: 573747 (1167%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is quite a bit (more or less 647%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 261920 (647%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti should be much (about 647%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 1030, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 130960 (647%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. 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 better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of 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 clock 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
