Radeon R9 Fury X vs Radeon R9 Nano

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 Nano, which features a clock frequency of 1000 MHz and a HBM memory speed of 500 MHz. It also uses a 4096-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 4096 SPUs, 256 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

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

Memory Bandwidth

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X should be a bit (more or less 5%) more effective at anisotropic filtering 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 will be a small bit (more or less 5%) better at AA than the Radeon R9 Nano, and also able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should 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 AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
