GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon R9 M375X

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M375X, which features GPU core speed of 1015 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 640 Stream Processors, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3060, in theory, should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M375X overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		368640 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 296640 (412%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 is a lot (about 264%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M375X. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 107240 (264%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3060 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 47120 (290%)

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 max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, 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 can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
