Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon R7 370 4G		110 Watts
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		210 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (91%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 370 4G is 24% quicker than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 4G		179200 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		144000 MB/sec
	Difference: 35200 (24%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 370 4G should be a lot (more or less 52%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 4G		62400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		40992 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21408 (52%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 370 4G is the winner, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 4G		31200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1920 (7%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
