Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 3060 is 412% quicker than the Radeon R9 M375X overall, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		368640 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 296640 (412%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 should be much (approximately 264%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M375X. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 107240 (264%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3060 is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 47120 (290%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

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