GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs Radeon R9 M370X

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 M370X, which comes with core clock speeds of 800 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB should be 20% quicker than the Radeon R9 M370X overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		86400 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 14400 (20%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB should be a lot (approximately 86%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		32000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 27392 (86%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is just a bit (more or less 16%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M370X, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2048 (16%)

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 data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster 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 are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate 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 also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
