Radeon R9 Fury X vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5700, which has a core clock speed of 1465 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2304 SPUs, 144 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 57840 (27%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 26560 (40%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number 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 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 graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
