GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs GeForce RTX 3090

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 3090, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1395 MHz, and 24576 MB of GDDR6X RAM running at 1219 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is made up of 10496 SPUs, 328 Texture Address Units, and 112 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3090 should theoretically be a little bit faster than the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3090		958668 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		934297 MB/sec
	Difference: 24371 (3%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3090 will be a bit (about 5%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3090		457560 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		436800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 20760 (5%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3090 will be just a bit (more or less 2%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, and able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3090		156240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		152880 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 3360 (2%)

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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed 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 graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as 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, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
