GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Radeon R9 Fury X

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1050 MHz, and 4096 MB of HBM RAM set to run at 500 MHz through a 4096-bit bus. It also is comprised of 4096 SPUs, 256 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		120 Watts
Radeon R9 Fury X		275 Watts
	Difference: 155 Watts (129%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 Fury X should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti in general. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 217088 (74%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X will be a lot (about 87%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		144000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 124800 (87%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is superior to the Radeon R9 Fury X, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		72000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 4800 (7%)

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 largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called 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, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
