GeForce GTX 750 vs Radeon R7 M260X

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 M260X, which features GPU core speed of 825 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1000 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 384 Stream Processors, 24 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX 750 should theoretically be a lot better than the Radeon R7 M260X overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		80000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 16000 (25%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 should be quite a bit (more or less 65%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M260X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		19800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12840 (65%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 750 is superior to the Radeon R7 M260X, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes 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, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
