GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Radeon R9 380X

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 380X, which has core speeds of 970 MHz on the GPU, and 1425 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon R9 380X		190 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
	Difference: 60 Watts (32%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R9 380X overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
Radeon R9 380X		182400 MB/sec
	Difference: 325504 (178%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be a lot (more or less 155%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R9 380X. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 380X		124160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 192640 (155%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 380X		31040 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 74560 (240%)

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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock 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 processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate 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 outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
