GeForce GTX 1050 3GB vs GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which features clock speeds of 1350 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 11264 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 4352 SPUs as well as 272 Texture Address Units and 88 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		86016 MB/sec
	Difference: 544768 (633%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 450%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		367200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		66816 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 300384 (450%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		118800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		33408 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 85392 (256%)

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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 processed per second. This figure is calculated 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 card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
