Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3060, in theory, should be a lot faster than the Radeon R9 M380 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		368640 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M380		96000 MB/sec
	Difference: 272640 (284%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 is much (more or less 270%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M380. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M380		40000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 107840 (270%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 will be quite a bit (about 296%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon R9 M380, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M380		16000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 47360 (296%)

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 max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
