GeForce GTX Titan Black vs GeForce RTX 3050

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 3050, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1552 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 2560 SPUs, 80 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

GeForce RTX 3050		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 106624 (46%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black should be a lot (approximately 72%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 3050. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		124160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 89200 (72%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3050 is a better choice, though only just barely. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050		49664 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 6992 (16%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, 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 number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its 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 - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
