GeForce GTX 650 vs Radeon R7 370 4G

Intro

The GeForce GTX 650 features a clock frequency of 1058 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1250 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 384 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Compare that to the Radeon R7 370 4G, which features GPU clock speed of 975 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1400 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 1024 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon R7 370 4G 179200 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 80000 MB/sec
Difference: 99200 (124%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 370 4G should be quite a bit (approximately 84%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 650. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 4G 62400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 33856 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 28544 (84%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 370 4G will be much (about 84%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 650, and capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 4G 31200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 16928 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 14272 (84%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
