GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) vs GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Intro

The GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) features a core clock speed of 450 MHz and a DDR2 memory frequency of 400 MHz. It also features a 64-bit bus, and uses a 80 nm design. It is made up of 8 SPUs, 4 Texture Address Units, and 2 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1350 MHz, and 11264 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 352-bit bus. It also is made up of 4352 Stream Processors, 272 Texture Address Units, and 88 ROPs.

GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) 40 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 250 Watts
Difference: 210 Watts (525%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti should in theory be much better than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 630784 MB/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) 6400 MB/sec
Difference: 624384 (9756%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is quite a bit (more or less 20300%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM). (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 367200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) 1800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 365400 (20300%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 118800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) 900 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 117900 (13100%)

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.

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

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
