GeForce RTX 2080 vs Radeon R7 370 4G

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 370 4G, which features a GPU core clock speed of 975 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1400 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1024 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon R7 370 4G		110 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080		215 Watts
	Difference: 105 Watts (95%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2080 will be 156% quicker than the Radeon R7 370 4G overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080		458752 MB/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		179200 MB/sec
	Difference: 279552 (156%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 should be much (more or less 347%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 370 4G. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080		278760 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		62400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 216360 (347%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 should be quite a bit (more or less 211%) better at FSAA than the Radeon R7 370 4G, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080		96960 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		31200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 65760 (211%)

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 data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
