GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 819609 (715%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti should be a lot (more or less 605%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		436800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 374880 (605%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is a lot (approximately 270%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		152880 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 111600 (270%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 output 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.
