GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon R7 M265

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 M265, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 725 MHz. The DDR3 memory runs at a speed of 1000 MHz on this specific card. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3060, in theory, should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M265 overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		368640 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M265		32000 MB/sec
	Difference: 336640 (1052%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 should be much (approximately 750%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M265. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M265		17400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 130440 (750%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3060 is superior to the Radeon R7 M265, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M265		5800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 57560 (992%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
