GeForce RTX 3050 vs Geforce GTX 760

Intro

Compare all that to the Geforce GTX 760, which has a GPU core clock speed of 980 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1502 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1152 SPUs, 96 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 3050		130 Watts
Geforce GTX 760		170 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (31%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 3050 should be 19% faster than the Geforce GTX 760 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050		229376 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
	Difference: 37120 (19%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3050 should be a lot (more or less 32%) more effective at AF than the Geforce GTX 760. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050		124160 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 30080 (32%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3050 is quite a bit (more or less 58%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Geforce GTX 760, and capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050		49664 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 18304 (58%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
