GeForce RTX 3070 vs GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which uses a 8 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1575 MHz. The GDDR6X RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1188 MHz on this particular card. It features 6144 SPUs along with 192 Texture Address Units and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is just a bit (more or less 10%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 3070. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3070		276000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 26400 (10%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will be a small bit (about 5%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce RTX 3070, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3070		144000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 7200 (5%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over 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 RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount 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 rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
