GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, which uses a 8 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1365 MHz. The GDDR6X RAM runs at a speed of 1188 MHz on this model. It features 10240 SPUs along with 320 Texture Address Units and 112 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

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

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti should in theory be quite a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 1050 in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will be quite a bit (more or less 706%) faster with regards to 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

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the winner, and very much so. (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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units 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 applied per second.

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