GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon R9 Fury X

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1050 MHz. The HBM RAM runs at a speed of 500 MHz on this specific card. It features 4096 SPUs as well as 256 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
Radeon R9 Fury X		275 Watts
	Difference: 60 Watts (28%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R9 Fury X is 12% faster than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super overall, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 53248 (12%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X will be a bit (more or less 5%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12000 (5%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 35520 (53%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also 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, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
