Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		350 Watts
	Difference: 275 Watts (367%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will be 715% faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		934297 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 819609 (715%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti should be a lot (about 605%) more effective at anisotropic filtering 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 quite a bit (approximately 270%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one 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. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
