Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 3050		130 Watts
GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		285 Watts
	Difference: 155 Watts (119%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be 125% faster than the GeForce RTX 3050 overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		516096 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 286720 (125%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be quite a bit (about 347%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce RTX 3050. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		124160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 430240 (347%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 272%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 3050, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		49664 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 135136 (272%)

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 data (in units of MB 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 memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock 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 applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
