GeForce RTX 3050 vs Radeon RX Vega 64

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX Vega 64, which comes with core speeds of 1247 MHz on the GPU, and 1890 MHz on the 8192 MB of HBM2 memory. It features 4096 SPUs as well as 256 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce RTX 3050		130 Watts
Radeon RX Vega 64		295 Watts
	Difference: 165 Watts (127%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon RX Vega 64 should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce RTX 3050 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		495411 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 266035 (116%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX Vega 64 will be much (about 157%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 3050. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		319232 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		124160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 195072 (157%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX Vega 64 should be a lot (about 61%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 3050, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		79808 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		49664 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30144 (61%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
