Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs Radeon R9 Fury X
IntroThe GeForce GTX 980 Ti features core clock speeds of 1000 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2816 SPUs along with 176 TAUs and 96 ROPs.Compare that to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1050 MHz. The HBM memory runs at a speed of 500 MHz on this specific model. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the Radeon R9 Fury X should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 Fury X should be quite a bit (approximately 53%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 980 Ti will be a lot (more or less 43%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 Fury X, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out 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 handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.

4 Responses to “GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs Radeon R9 Fury X”If they just added more ROP's to the Fury X, it would have been a beast.
It's just the first HBM implementation, so it's kinda experimental, wait for next one, in 2016, they will get rid of some limitations, like memory speed or 4GB maximum capacity, also will be on 20/16 nm process, just imagine that dual gpu version, with over 1 million mb/sec bandwidth, and lower TDP... Also, like you said, more ROP's would be more than welcomed. I hope they will learn from their past mistakes, and deliver best performance at good prices, and optimize their drivers.
The Fury X obtained disappointing benchmark results, other than what we expected, somewhere between 980 and 980 Ti. Keep in mind that there were made under DX11, we don't know what DX12 will bring. Also, I understand that they will remove the voltage and overclock limit, and with better optimized drivers, the results could change.
After the last driver update. The fury x is beating the 980ti by a 4% across the board. And that's even without the crimson drivers.
