1. In modern browsers, 3 points = 4 pixels (regardless of screen
resolution).
Modern browsers count in "logical pixels" instead of physical pixels.
72 points = 1 inch = 96 logical pixels.
2. Historically (but no longer), back when browsers counted in
"physical pixels",
3 points = 4 pixels when your screen resolution scaling was 100% (4
physical pixels = 4 logical pixels)
3 points = 5 pixels when your screen resolution scaling was 125% (5
physical pixels = 4 logical pixels)
3 points = 6 pixels when your screen resolution scaling was 150% (6
physical pixels = 4 logical pixels)
