GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Radeon R9 Nano

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 Nano, which features GPU clock speed of 1000 MHz, and 4096 MB of HBM memory set to run at 500 MHz through a 4096-bit bus. It also is comprised of 4096 Stream Processors, 256 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon R9 Nano		256000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 60800 (24%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is superior to the Radeon R9 Nano, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		64000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 41600 (65%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also 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 memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
