GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

The GeForce RTX 3060 makes use of a 8 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1320 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a speed of 1875 MHz on this specific card. It features 3584 SPUs along with 112 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 M365X, which has a clock speed of 925 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1125 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

GeForce RTX 3060 368640 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M365X 72000 MB/sec
Difference: 296640 (412%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 should be a lot (about 300%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060 147840 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X 37000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 110840 (300%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3060 is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060 63360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X 14800 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 48560 (328%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
