GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs GeForce RTX 3050

Intro

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 has a GPU core speed of 732 MHz, and the 1280 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 900 MHz through a 320-bit bus. It also is made up of 448 Stream Processors, 56 TAUs, and 40 Raster Operation Units.

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

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 that the graphics card could possibly record to the 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 clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called 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 memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
