GeForce GTX 285 1GB vs GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which has a clock frequency of 1410 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 8 nm design. It is made up of 4864 SPUs, 152 Texture Address Units, and 80 ROPs.

	Difference: 162480 (313%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti will be quite a bit (approximately 444%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 285 1GB, and will be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		112800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 285 1GB		20736 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 92064 (444%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 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 calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
