GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon R5 M330

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R5 M330, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1030 MHz. The DDR3 memory runs at a speed of 900 MHz on this specific model. It features 320 SPUs as well as 20 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3060, in theory, should be a lot faster than the Radeon R5 M330 overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		368640 MB/sec
Radeon R5 M330		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 354240 (2460%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 should be quite a bit (more or less 618%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R5 M330. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		20600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 127240 (618%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 will be a lot (about 669%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R5 M330, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		8240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 55120 (669%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling 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 in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called 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 of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
