Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 3060 170 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan X 250 Watts
Difference: 80 Watts (47%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 3060 should be 10% faster than the GeForce GTX Titan X overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060 368640 MB/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X 336000 MB/sec
Difference: 32640 (10%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X should be quite a bit (about 30%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce RTX 3060. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X 192000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 147840 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 44160 (30%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan X is superior to the GeForce RTX 3060, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X 96000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 63360 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 32640 (52%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write 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 drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill 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 get to the maximum fill rate.
