GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs Radeon RX 7900 XT

Intro

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti uses a 8 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1365 MHz. The GDDR6X RAM works at a frequency of 1188 MHz on this particular card. It features 10240 SPUs as well as 320 Texture Address Units and 112 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 7900 XT, which comes with a core clock speed of 1500 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2500 MHz. It also uses a 320-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 5 nm design. It is comprised of 5376 SPUs, 336 Texture Address Units, and 192 Raster Operation Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

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