GeForce RTX 3050 vs Radeon HD 7750

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 7750, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1125 MHz on this specific model. It features 512 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Radeon HD 7750		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 157376 (219%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3050 should be much (about 385%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 7750. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050		124160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 7750		25600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 98560 (385%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3050 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050		49664 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 7750		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 36864 (288%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 rate is also dependant on lots of 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.
