GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs Radeon VII

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1060 3GB makes use of a 16 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1506 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this card. It features 1152 SPUs as well as 72 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.

Compare all of that to the Radeon VII, which comes with GPU core speed of 1400 MHz, and 16384 MB of HBM2 RAM set to run at 1000 MHz through a 4096-bit bus. It also is comprised of 3840 SPUs, 240 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes 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 the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better 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 that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
