Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 750 Ti should be 35% faster than the Radeon R7 M260X in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		86400 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 22400 (35%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti will be much (more or less 106%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M260X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		40800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		19800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21000 (106%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 750 Ti is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		16320 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		6600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 9720 (147%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling 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 worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
