GeForce GTX 750 vs Radeon R7 260X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R7 260X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1100 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1625 MHz on this particular card. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 750		80000 MB/sec
	Difference: 24000 (30%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 260X will be quite a bit (about 89%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 750. (explain)

Radeon R7 260X		61600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 28960 (89%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 260X is just a bit (more or less 8%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 750, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon R7 260X		17600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		16320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1280 (8%)

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 (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 card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 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, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of 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 colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. 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 is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
