GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, which makes use of a 8 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1365 MHz. The GDDR6X memory is set to run at a frequency of 1188 MHz on this specific card. It features 10240 SPUs as well as 320 TAUs and 112 Rasterization Operator Units.

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 706%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		436800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		54160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 382640 (706%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti should be a lot (more or less 253%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1050, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		152880 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		43328 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 109552 (253%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
