VS

Radeon RX 5700 vs Radeon RX Vega 64

Intro

The Radeon RX 5700 features core speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare that to the Radeon RX Vega 64, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1247 MHz. The HBM2 RAM works at a speed of 1890 MHz on this card. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700 180 Watts
Radeon RX Vega 64 295 Watts
Difference: 115 Watts (64%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX Vega 64 should theoretically be a small bit better than the Radeon RX 5700 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64 495411 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700 458752 MB/sec
Difference: 36659 (8%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX Vega 64 is much (more or less 51%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64 319232 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 210960 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 108272 (51%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 93760 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX Vega 64 79808 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 13952 (17%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill 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 ability to get to the max fill rate.
