Radeon R9 Fury X vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which comes with core speeds of 2321 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the (Unknown) MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 6700 XT		230 Watts
Radeon R9 Fury X		275 Watts
	Difference: 45 Watts (20%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon R9 Fury X should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon RX 6700 XT in general. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6700 XT		393216 MB/sec
	Difference: 118784 (30%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is a lot (approximately 38%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 Fury X. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 102560 (38%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6700 XT is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 81344 (121%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. 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 quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
