GeForce RTX 3050 vs GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

Intro

The GeForce RTX 3050 uses a 8 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1552 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 80 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, which has core speeds of 1365 MHz on the GPU, and 1188 MHz on the 12288 MB of GDDR6X RAM. It features 10240 SPUs along with 320 TAUs and 112 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 most pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
