GeForce RTX 2070 vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon VII, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1400 MHz, and 16384 MB of HBM2 memory set to run at 1000 MHz through a 4096-bit bus. It also is made up of 3840 SPUs, 240 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII is quite a bit (more or less 65%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2070. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		203040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 132960 (65%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 should be a bit (approximately 1%) better at FSAA than the Radeon VII, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070		90240 Mpixels/sec
Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 640 (1%)

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 data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
