GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs Radeon Vega Frontier Edition

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1382 MHz. The HBM2 RAM runs at a frequency of 1890 MHz on this particular card. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		495452 MB/sec
	Difference: 127447 (26%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition will be just a bit (more or less 17%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		353792 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 51392 (17%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti should be much (approximately 71%) better at FSAA than the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		88448 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 62752 (71%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
