GeForce GTX 1070 vs Radeon Vega Frontier Edition

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1070 makes use of a 16 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1506 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 2000 MHz on this particular model. It features 1920 SPUs as well as 120 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1382 MHz. The HBM2 memory runs at a frequency of 1890 MHz on this model. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units 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 most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

LOL, 300 watts! BWAHAHAHAHAHAA! GTX 1070 WINS AGAIN!

AMDIsThePrayer says:

WOW, DOUBLE the PERFORMANCE... NVIDIA ALWAYS SUCKS AGAIN!! AHAHAHA!!!

Realist says:

old R290X is Titan Z killer (OFFICIAL),and this not dual GPU like Titan. Fury X is beat Titan V,like both Vega. and where is duoble GPU like,how Titan is,like HD 7990 x2,R9 290X x2,Fury X x2,R9 295X!!!!! Nvidia,YOU HAVE SHIT OF GPUs!!! In gaming,ALWAYS RADEON WIN. Like first,many people dont know this,Nvidia is made exclusively for 3D modeling,not for gaming!!!! BEACUSE HAVE HIGHER SCORE IN SOME BENCHMARKS AND IN GAMING IS TERRIBLE.

Realist says:

This all says:
1.Transistors: nVidia:7200 million
Vega: 12500 million
2.Arhitecture: nVidia: 16nm
Vega: 14nm
3.Bus Type: nVidia: GDDR5
Vega: HMB2 !!!!!!
4.Bus Width nVidia: 256-bit
Vega: 2048-bit WHAT????????????? OMG!!! 256 vs 2048, Grandpa GDDR5 vs The champion of the world HMB2
STUPID nVidia fanboys,look this and AGAIN go check Memory,Core Speed,Memory Speed,Bandwidth,Texel Rate,
Pixel Rate,Unified Shaders,Texture Mapping Units
Look very good and when you become aware that is 1070 crap,go home, snuggle under the bed and cry like a whore

So? RTX 2080Ti rapes AMD´s Ass again xD
