GeForce 9800 GT 1GB vs Radeon R7 360

Intro

The GeForce 9800 GT 1GB features clock speeds of 600 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 112 SPUs along with 56 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare that to the Radeon R7 360, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1050 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1625 MHz on this specific card. It features 768 SPUs as well as 48 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 57600 MB/sec
Difference: 46400 (81%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 is a lot (more or less 50%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 9800 GT 1GB. (explain)

Radeon R7 360 50400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 33600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 16800 (50%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 should be much (more or less 75%) better at AA than the GeForce 9800 GT 1GB, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon R7 360 16800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 9600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 7200 (75%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once 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, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

Tive uma GeForce 9800 GT 1GB, Otima durou 4 anos, troquei a Fonte do Micro a 1 ano e agora a Placa de video começou a aquecer e acabou queimando, queimou tambem a PCI da placa mãe, me falaram que foi por causa da Fonte. Comprei uma fonte Nova, placa mãe nova e a
Radeon R7 360, vamos ver se é realmente boa.
