GeForce RTX 4070 Ti vs Radeon R9 Fury X

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which comes with GPU core speed of 1050 MHz, and 4096 MB of HBM RAM set to run at 500 MHz through a 4096-bit bus. It also is made up of 4096 SPUs, 256 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
	Difference: 4096 (1%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 106%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 Fury X. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 285600 (106%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 117600 (175%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If 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 high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better 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 maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
