GeForce RTX 4070 Ti vs Radeon R9 Fury X

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which features clock speeds of 1050 MHz on the GPU, and 500 MHz on the 4096 MB of HBM RAM. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti will be quite a bit (approximately 106%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 Fury X. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 285600 (106%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 117600 (175%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
