GeForce GTX 1630 vs Radeon R9 Fury X

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1050 MHz. The HBM memory is set to run at a frequency of 500 MHz on this particular model. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 213120 (383%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X will be much (more or less 141%) better at AA than the GeForce GTX 1630, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 39360 (141%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on 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 ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
