GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs Radeon R7 360

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R7 360, which has a core clock frequency of 1050 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1625 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 768 SPUs, 48 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon R7 360		100 Watts
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		110 Watts
	Difference: 10 Watts (10%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 360 should perform a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB overall. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		104000 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 17600 (20%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is a little bit (approximately 18%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 360. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 8992 (18%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R7 360 is superior to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1952 (13%)

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 max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
