Pixel Fill rate and Texture Fill rate

[SelenaGomez]

What is more important to have a higher value in, The Pixel fill rate or the Texture fill rate with graphics cards? Or does that even make sense?

It depends on the game. But these days, texture fill rate is more important than pixel fill rate.

it's useful for comparison within the architecture, but for different architecture it's pretty much useless.

just look at gaming benchmarks for comparing 2 gpus. not the specs.

Both are equally paramount ...

Pixel fill rate determines rasterization/blending performance which is important for shadow mapping, filling the G-buffer, transparency, or other depth/stencil functionality ...

Texture fill rate is valuable for establishing texture filtering performance which is useful for bilinear/trilinear/anisotropic filtering and their related units also handle texture decompression/compression ...
