GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon R9 M380

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 M380, which features a core clock speed of 1000 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super should theoretically be much better than the Radeon R9 M380 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M380		96000 MB/sec
	Difference: 362752 (378%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be a lot (more or less 542%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M380. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M380		40000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 216800 (542%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is superior to the Radeon R9 M380, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M380		16000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 86720 (542%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus 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 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
