GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon R5 M330

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R5 M330, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1030 MHz. The DDR3 memory works at a speed of 900 MHz on this particular model. It features 320 SPUs as well as 20 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3060, in theory, should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R5 M330 overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		368640 MB/sec
Radeon R5 M330		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 354240 (2460%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 should be quite a bit (approximately 618%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R5 M330. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		20600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 127240 (618%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 will be much (more or less 669%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon R5 M330, and also capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		8240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 55120 (669%)

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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's 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 fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
