In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 EVGA XC3 Gaming 10GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE 256MB.
The RTX 3080 was released over three years more recently than the 6150 SE, and so the RTX 3080 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the 6150 SE when running the latest games.
The RTX 3080 has 9984 MB more video memory than the 6150 SE, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RTX 3080 also has superior memory performance overall.
The memory bandwidth of the GeForce RTX 3080 EVGA XC3 Gaming 10GB and the GeForce 6150 SE 256MB are the same, which means the RTX 3080 and the 6150 SE have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The GeForce RTX 3080 EVGA XC3 Gaming 10GB has 8704 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce 6150 SE 256MB has 2. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 3080 is 15276 and the actual shader performance of the 6150 SE is 1. The RTX 3080 having 15275 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 3080 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the 6150 SE.
The GeForce RTX 3080 EVGA XC3 Gaming 10GB requires 320 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GeForce 6150 SE 256MB. We would recommend a PSU with at least 750 Watts for the RTX 3080.
