Radeon R9 Fury X vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

The Radeon R9 Fury X has a core clock frequency of 1050 MHz and a HBM memory speed of 500 MHz. It also makes use of a 4096-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 4096 SPUs, 256 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which comes with core clock speeds of 1717 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Radeon RX 5500 XT 229376 MB/sec
Difference: 282624 (123%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X will be quite a bit (about 78%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5500 XT. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X 268800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5500 XT 151096 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 117704 (78%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R9 Fury X is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X 67200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5500 XT 54944 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 12256 (22%)

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 max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR 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 AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling 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 the video card could 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 colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
