Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce RTX 3050 vs Radeon RX 480 4GB
IntroThe GeForce RTX 3050 has a clock speed of 1552 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 8 nm design. It is made up of 2560 SPUs, 80 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 480 4GB, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1120 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthBoth cards have the exact same bandwidth, so in theory they should have identical performance. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 480 4GB will be quite a bit (approximately 30%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 3050. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3050 is superior to the Radeon RX 480 4GB, by a large margin. (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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many 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.
