GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon VII, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1400 MHz. The HBM2 memory runs at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this particular card. 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 3070 Ti		290 Watts
Radeon VII		295 Watts
	Difference: 5 Watts (2%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon VII should in theory be much superior to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti in general. (explain)

Radeon VII		1048576 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		622899 MB/sec
	Difference: 425677 (68%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII will be a small bit (about 11%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 33600 (11%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is superior to the Radeon VII, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 61600 (69%)

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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is worked out 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 maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock 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 is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
