GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon Pro Duo

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon Pro Duo, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1000 MHz. The HBM memory is set to run at a speed of 500 MHz on this model. It features 4096 SPUs as well as 256 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce RTX 3060		368640 MB/sec
	Difference: 655360 (178%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo is quite a bit (about 246%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 3060. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 364160 (246%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo will be a lot (about 102%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 3060, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 64640 (102%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
