Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB vs GeForce RTX 3090
IntroThe GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB has a GPU core speed of 1260 MHz, and the 12288 MB of GDDR6X RAM runs at 1188 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is made up of 8960 SPUs, 280 Texture Address Units, and 112 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 3090, which comes with core speeds of 1395 MHz on the GPU, and 1219 MHz on the 24576 MB of GDDR6X memory. It features 10496 SPUs as well as 328 Texture Address Units and 112 Rasterization Operator Units.
Display Graphs
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 3090 should be a small bit faster than the GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce RTX 3090 will be quite a bit (more or less 30%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3090 is superior to the GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)
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

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number 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 video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
