Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce RTX 3050 vs Radeon RX 480 4GB
IntroThe GeForce RTX 3050 uses a 8 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1552 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 80 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 480 4GB, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1120 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthBoth cards have the exact same memory bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform the same. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 480 4GB will be a lot (approximately 30%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 3050. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high 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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs 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 fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
