GeForce RTX 4070 Ti vs Radeon R9 Nano

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 Nano, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1000 MHz. The HBM RAM is set to run at a speed of 500 MHz on this specific model. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should theoretically be just a bit superior to the Radeon R9 Nano in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		516096 MB/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		512000 MB/sec
	Difference: 4096 (1%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti will be quite a bit (approximately 117%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 Nano. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		256000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 298400 (117%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		64000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 120800 (189%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, 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 higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
