GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon R9 M370X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M370X, which features a clock speed of 800 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1125 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Radeon R9 M370X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 296640 (412%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 will be quite a bit (approximately 362%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		32000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 115840 (362%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 should be a lot (about 395%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M370X, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 50560 (395%)

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 maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at 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 that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. 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 lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
