Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon R9 Fury X

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1050 MHz, and 4096 MB of HBM RAM running at 500 MHz through a 4096-bit bus. It also is comprised of 4096 SPUs, 256 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon Pro Duo should perform much faster than the Radeon R9 Fury X in general. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
	Difference: 512000 (100%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be quite a bit (more or less 90%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 Fury X. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 243200 (90%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon Pro Duo is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 60800 (90%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
