GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon VII, which comes with a clock frequency of 1400 MHz and a HBM2 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 4096-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 3840 SPUs, 240 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 31200 (9%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 33%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon VII, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		118800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 29200 (33%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs 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 also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
