Radeon R9 Fury X vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700, which has GPU core speed of 1465 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2304 SPUs, 144 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 53248 (12%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X will be much (approximately 27%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 57840 (27%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 26560 (40%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better 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 can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total 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 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 write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
