GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs GeForce RTX 3050

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 3050, which uses a 8 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1552 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 80 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 3050		130 Watts
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		210 Watts
	Difference: 80 Watts (62%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 3050 will be 59% faster than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050		229376 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		144000 MB/sec
	Difference: 85376 (59%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3050 should be a lot (more or less 203%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050		124160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		40992 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 83168 (203%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3050 should be much (about 70%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448, and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050		49664 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20384 (70%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 amount of pixels that 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 amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
