GeForce GTX 750 vs Radeon R7 M260X

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R7 M260X, which comes with GPU clock speed of 825 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1000 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 384 Stream Processors, 24 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 750 should be 25% faster than the Radeon R7 M260X in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		80000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 16000 (25%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 will be much (more or less 65%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M260X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		19800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12840 (65%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 750 is superior to the Radeon R7 M260X, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		16320 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		6600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 9720 (147%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, 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 higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock 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 fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
