Radeon HD 6770 vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M365X, which comes with a core clock frequency of 925 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1125 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon R9 M365X should theoretically be a little bit faster than the Radeon HD 6770 overall. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
Radeon HD 6770		67200 MB/sec
	Difference: 4800 (7%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M365X will be just a bit (about 3%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 6770. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 6770		36000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 1000 (3%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M365X is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 6770		14400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 400 (3%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 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 AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen 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 amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
