Radeon R9 Fury X vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which has a core clock frequency of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2304 SPUs, 144 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
Radeon R9 Fury X		275 Watts
	Difference: 115 Watts (72%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R9 Fury X should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon RX 5600 XT overall. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 167936 (49%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X should be much (more or less 36%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 70800 (36%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20800 (31%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out 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 texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's 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 also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
