Radeon R9 Fury X vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6800, which features core clock speeds of 1700 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 16384 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 3840 SPUs along with 240 Texture Address Units and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6800		250 Watts
Radeon R9 Fury X		275 Watts
	Difference: 25 Watts (10%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 6800 will be 2% quicker than the Radeon R9 Fury X in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		524288 MB/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
	Difference: 12288 (2%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 should be quite a bit (approximately 52%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 Fury X. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 139200 (52%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 96000 (143%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, 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 AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video 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 maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core 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 also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
