GeForce RTX 3060 Ti vs Radeon Pro Duo

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon Pro Duo, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1000 MHz. The HBM memory is set to run at a speed of 500 MHz on this card. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		200 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo		350 Watts
	Difference: 150 Watts (75%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon Pro Duo will be -100% faster than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		(Unknown) MB/sec
	Difference: 1024000 (-100%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be much (about 139%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		214320 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 297680 (139%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon Pro Duo is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		112800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 15200 (13%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the 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 most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. 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 rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
