Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon R9 390 8G
IntroThe GeForce RTX 3060 uses a 8 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1320 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a speed of 1875 MHz on this model. It features 3584 SPUs along with 112 TAUs and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 390 8G, which comes with a clock frequency of 1000 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also features a 512-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon R9 390 8G should theoretically be a little bit better than the GeForce RTX 3060 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 390 8G will be a bit (approximately 8%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 3060. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R9 390 8G is superior to the GeForce RTX 3060, though only just barely. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
