GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon R9 Nano

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 Nano, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1000 MHz. The HBM RAM works at a frequency of 500 MHz on this card. It features 4096 SPUs as well as 256 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is just a bit (approximately 0%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R9 Nano. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		256000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 800 (0%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is superior to the Radeon R9 Nano, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		64000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 38720 (61%)

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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
