GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon R9 Fury X

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1050 MHz. The HBM memory is set to run at a speed of 500 MHz on this particular model. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
Radeon R9 Fury X		275 Watts
	Difference: 115 Watts (72%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R9 Fury X is 49% quicker than the GeForce RTX 2060 overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 167936 (49%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X should be much (about 64%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 105000 (64%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 Fury X is superior to the GeForce RTX 2060, though not by far. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1680 (3%)

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 max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
