GeForce GT 1030		49152 MB/sec
	Difference: 446464 (908%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 1080 Ti is a lot (about 719%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		331520 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 291040 (719%)

Pixel Rate

The Geforce GTX 1080 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 543%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GT 1030, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		130240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 110000 (543%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
