GeForce GTX Titan Black vs GeForce RTX 3060

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 3060, which makes use of a 8 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1320 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a speed of 1875 MHz on this card. It features 3584 SPUs as well as 112 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.

GeForce RTX 3060		170 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan Black		250 Watts
	Difference: 80 Watts (47%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 3060 is 10% quicker than the GeForce GTX Titan Black overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		368640 MB/sec
GeForce GTX Titan Black		336000 MB/sec
	Difference: 32640 (10%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black should be quite a bit (approximately 44%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce RTX 3060. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 65520 (44%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 should be quite a bit (more or less 48%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GTX Titan Black, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20688 (48%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated 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 card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs 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 output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
