GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs Radeon HD 7990

Intro

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti uses a 8 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1575 MHz. The GDDR6X RAM works at a frequency of 1188 MHz on this specific model. It features 6144 SPUs along with 192 TAUs and 96 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 7990, which features clock speeds of 950 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 3072 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 290 Watts
Radeon HD 7990 375 Watts
Difference: 85 Watts (29%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is 8% quicker than the Radeon HD 7990 in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 622899 MB/sec
Radeon HD 7990 576000 MB/sec
Difference: 46899 (8%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti should be a lot (about 24%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 7990. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 302400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 7990 243200 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 59200 (24%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will be a lot (about 149%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon HD 7990, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 151200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 7990 60800 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 90400 (149%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 can be processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

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