GeForce RTX 4070 Ti vs Radeon R9 Nano

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 Nano, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1000 MHz. The HBM memory runs at a frequency of 500 MHz on this particular model. It features 4096 SPUs as well as 256 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon R9 Nano		175 Watts
GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		285 Watts
	Difference: 110 Watts (63%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is 1% quicker than the Radeon R9 Nano in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		516096 MB/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		512000 MB/sec
	Difference: 4096 (1%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be much (approximately 117%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R9 Nano. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		256000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 298400 (117%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		64000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 120800 (189%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
