There is no way a SoC is running in the same range as an NVideo 3000 series GPU.
The GPU performance of my M1 Mac Mini is roughly comparable to that of my Pixel 5 and Quest 2--both of which are running the Qualcomm Adreno 650 GPU.

I find it hard to believe and benchmarks [0][1] don't seem to support that.

And they don't define "performance". Is it fill rate? Is it TFLOPs? Is it memory bandwidth? The M1 Max has 64 GPU cores. That sounds like a lot! It's not! The NVidia Laptop 3080 has 6,144 cores. That's NINETY SIX TIMES as many cores. I'm sorry, but supposedly achieving 90% of the "performance" of a GPU that has 2 orders of magnitude more cores is just not in the realm of believable. They are being intentionally evasive here.
The Max:
10.4 tflops
327 gtexels/sec
164 gpixels/sec
465 Gtexels/s
164.2 Gpixels/s
if those numbers from Apple are real -- that's bonkers
