Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 580 vs GeForce RTX 3050
IntroThe GeForce GTX 580 comes with a GPU core speed of 772 MHz, and the 1536 MB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1002 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also features 512 Stream Processors, 64 Texture Address Units, and 48 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 3050, which makes use of a 8 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1552 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 2560 SPUs along with 80 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce RTX 3050 should theoretically perform just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 580 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce RTX 3050 will be quite a bit (about 151%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 580. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3050 is superior to the GeForce GTX 580, and very much so. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the 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 write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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 - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
