Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon R9 390 8G
IntroThe GeForce RTX 3060 makes use of a 8 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1320 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1875 MHz on this card. It features 3584 SPUs as well as 112 Texture Address Units and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 390 8G, which features clock speeds of 1000 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon R9 390 8G should in theory be a bit better than the GeForce RTX 3060 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 390 8G is a bit (about 8%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 3060. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R9 390 8G is superior to the GeForce RTX 3060, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the 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 amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
