In theory, the GeForce RTX 3060 is 1052% quicker than the Radeon R7 M265 overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 will be much (more or less 750%) faster with regards to texture 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 using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3060 is a better choice, by a large margin. (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 max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher 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 texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
