GeForce GTX Titan Black vs GeForce RTX 3060

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 3060, which features core clock speeds of 1320 MHz on the GPU, and 1875 MHz on the (Unknown) MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 3584 SPUs along with 112 TAUs and 48 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

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

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce RTX 3060 should perform a bit faster than the GeForce GTX Titan Black in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black should be quite a bit (more or less 44%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 3060. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 65520 (44%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3060 is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20688 (48%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at 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 the video card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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 of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
