GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon R5 M330

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R5 M330, which has GPU core speed of 1030 MHz, and 2048 MB of DDR3 memory set to run at 900 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is comprised of 320 Stream Processors, 20 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3060 should in theory be much faster than the Radeon R5 M330 in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 should be a lot (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

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3060 is superior to the Radeon R5 M330, by far. (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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
