GeForce GTX Titan X vs GeForce RTX 3050

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 3050, which has clock speeds of 1552 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 80 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X is much (more or less 55%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 3050. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		192000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		124160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 67840 (55%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan X is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		49664 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 46336 (93%)

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 data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
