Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon R7 370 2G should in theory be a lot better than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB in general. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		179200 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 92800 (107%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 370 2G is a little bit (more or less 5%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		62400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 3008 (5%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 370 2G is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		31200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 16352 (110%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, 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 can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
