GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Radeon R9 Fury X

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which comes with a core clock frequency of 1050 MHz and a HBM memory speed of 500 MHz. It also features a 4096-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 4096 SPUs, 256 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
Radeon R9 Fury X		275 Watts
	Difference: 25 Watts (10%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 Fury X is 1% quicker than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
	Difference: 4096 (1%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be just a bit (about 18%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 Fury X. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 48000 (18%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 38400 (57%)

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 max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number 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 DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core 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 could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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 bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
