GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs GeForce RTX 3080

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 3080, which has GPU clock speed of 1440 MHz, and 10240 MB of GDDR6X RAM running at 1188 MHz through a 320-bit bus. It also features 8704 Stream Processors, 272 TAUs, and 96 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		170 Watts
GeForce RTX 3080		320 Watts
	Difference: 150 Watts (88%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce RTX 3080 should theoretically be quite a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080		778547 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
	Difference: 650291 (507%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 should be much (more or less 645%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080		391680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 339072 (645%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3080 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080		138240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 111936 (426%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units 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 processed per second.

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