GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon VII, which comes with a core clock frequency of 1400 MHz and a HBM2 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also features a 4096-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It features 3840 SPUs, 240 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB		84 Watts
Radeon VII		295 Watts
	Difference: 211 Watts (251%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon VII should in theory perform much faster than the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB in general. (explain)

Radeon VII		1048576 MB/sec
GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB		38400 MB/sec
	Difference: 1010176 (2631%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII should be much (more or less 1173%) better at AF than the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB		26400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 309600 (1173%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon VII is superior to the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB		6600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 83000 (1258%)

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 transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen 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 amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. 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 also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
