Radeon R9 Fury X vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6800, which comes with core speeds of 1700 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 16384 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 3840 SPUs along with 240 Texture Address Units and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 139200 (52%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 should be much (approximately 143%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 Fury X, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 96000 (143%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units 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 applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. 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 potential to reach the max fill rate.
