GeForce RTX 4070 Ti vs Radeon RX 470 4GB

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 470 4GB, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 926 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1650 MHz on this specific card. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 470 4GB		120 Watts
GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		285 Watts
	Difference: 165 Watts (138%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be 144% faster than the Radeon RX 470 4GB in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		516096 MB/sec
Radeon RX 470 4GB		211200 MB/sec
	Difference: 304896 (144%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 368%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 470 4GB. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 470 4GB		118528 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 435872 (368%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 524%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon RX 470 4GB, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 470 4GB		29632 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 155168 (524%)

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 max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount 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 number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. 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, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
