GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs Radeon R7 370 4G

Intro

The GeForce GTX 980 Ti features a GPU clock speed of 1000 MHz, and the 6144 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 1750 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is made up of 2816 SPUs, 176 Texture Address Units, and 96 ROPs.

Compare all of that to the Radeon R7 370 4G, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 975 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1400 MHz on this specific model. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, 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 is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core 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 is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
