GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs Radeon Vega Frontier Edition

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which features a clock speed of 1382 MHz and a HBM2 memory frequency of 1890 MHz. It also uses a 2048-bit bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is comprised of 4096 SPUs, 256 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		495452 MB/sec
	Difference: 127447 (26%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition will be just a bit (about 17%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		353792 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 51392 (17%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is quite a bit (more or less 71%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		88448 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 62752 (71%)

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 MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out 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 texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
