GeForce RTX 3050 vs Radeon RX Vega 64

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX Vega 64, which has a core clock frequency of 1247 MHz and a HBM2 memory speed of 1890 MHz. It also uses a 2048-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is made up of 4096 SPUs, 256 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce RTX 3050		124160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 195072 (157%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX Vega 64 should be much (about 61%) better at AA than the GeForce RTX 3050, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		79808 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		49664 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30144 (61%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's 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 applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
