Radeon R9 Fury X vs Radeon R9 Nano

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 Nano, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1000 MHz. The HBM memory works at a frequency of 500 MHz on this card. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Radeon R9 Fury X		275 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (57%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same memory bandwidth, so in theory they should have the same performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X is a little bit (approximately 5%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R9 Nano. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		256000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12800 (5%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X should be just a bit (approximately 5%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 Nano, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		64000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 3200 (5%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
