GeForce RTX 3050 vs Radeon RX 570

Intro

The GeForce RTX 3050 has a GPU core speed of 1552 MHz, and the 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM is set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 2560 SPUs, 80 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 570, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1168 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 3050 130 Watts
Radeon RX 570 150 Watts
Difference: 20 Watts (15%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform exactly the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 570 should be a little bit (approximately 20%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 3050. (explain)

Radeon RX 570 149504 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3050 124160 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 25344 (20%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3050 is superior to the Radeon RX 570, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3050 49664 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 570 37376 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 12288 (33%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core 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 fill 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 max fill rate.
