Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon R9 Fury X

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which features GPU core speed of 1050 MHz, and 4096 MB of HBM memory running at 500 MHz through a 4096-bit bus. It also is made up of 4096 SPUs, 256 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
	Difference: 512000 (100%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be a lot (more or less 90%) better at AF than the Radeon R9 Fury X. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 243200 (90%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon Pro Duo is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 60800 (90%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

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