GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon VII, which features clock speeds of 1400 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 16384 MB of HBM2 memory. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
Radeon VII		295 Watts
	Difference: 45 Watts (18%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon VII is 106% quicker than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon VII		1048576 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
	Difference: 540672 (106%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII will be a little bit (more or less 6%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 19200 (6%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be just a bit (more or less 18%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon VII, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 16000 (18%)

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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
