Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon R9 Fury X		275 Watts
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		290 Watts
	Difference: 15 Watts (5%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will be 22% faster than the Radeon R9 Fury X in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		622899 MB/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
	Difference: 110899 (22%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti should be a small bit (more or less 13%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 Fury X. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 33600 (13%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will be much (about 125%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 Fury X, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 84000 (125%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 the video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many 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.
