Radeon R9 Nano		175 Watts
Radeon R9 Fury X		275 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (57%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same memory bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X should be just a bit (approximately 5%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R9 Nano. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		256000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12800 (5%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X should be just a bit (more or less 5%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon R9 Nano, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		64000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 3200 (5%)

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

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour 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 output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
