GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon RX 6750 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6750 XT, which has a clock frequency of 2150 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 2250 MHz. It also features a 192-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

GeForce RTX 3060		368640 MB/sec
	Difference: 73728 (20%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT will be quite a bit (approximately 133%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 3060. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		344000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 196160 (133%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6750 XT is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		137600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 chip could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. 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 rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
