GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs Radeon R9 Fury X

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which features a core clock speed of 1050 MHz and a HBM memory speed of 500 MHz. It also makes use of a 4096-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 4096 SPUs, 256 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
	Difference: 110899 (22%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will be a bit (approximately 13%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 Fury X. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 33600 (13%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 84000 (125%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, 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 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 most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
