Radeon R9 Fury X vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 560, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1175 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 193600 (257%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X will be quite a bit (about 257%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon RX 560, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 48400 (257%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number 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 processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core 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 rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
