GeForce GTX Titan X vs GeForce RTX 3060

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 3060, which has a clock speed of 1320 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1875 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit bus, and makes use of a 8 nm design. It is made up of 3584 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 48 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX Titan X		336000 MB/sec
	Difference: 32640 (10%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X is quite a bit (about 30%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 3060. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		192000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 44160 (30%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X is much (more or less 52%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 3060, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 32640 (52%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
