GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce RTX 3050

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 3050, which makes use of a 8 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1552 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2560 SPUs along with 80 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
GeForce RTX 3050		130 Watts
	Difference: 55 Watts (73%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 3050 will be 100% faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti overall, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050		229376 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 114688 (100%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3050 should be much (more or less 101%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050		124160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 62240 (101%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3050 will be a bit (approximately 20%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050		49664 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8384 (20%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
