Radeon R9 Fury X vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1605 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
Radeon R9 Fury X		275 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (22%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon R9 Fury X should in theory be just a bit better than the Radeon RX 5700 XT in general. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 53248 (12%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X should be just a bit (approximately 5%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5700 XT. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12000 (5%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 35520 (53%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 chip can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. 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 also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
