GeForce GTX Titan Black vs GeForce RTX 3060

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 3060, which makes use of a 8 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1320 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a frequency of 1875 MHz on this particular model. It features 3584 SPUs along with 112 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

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% faster than the GeForce GTX Titan Black overall, because of its greater 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 will be a lot (about 44%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering 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 much (more or less 48%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GTX Titan Black, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units 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 is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
