GeForce GTX 750 vs Radeon R7 M260X

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 M260X, which features a clock speed of 825 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 384 SPUs, 24 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 750 should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M260X in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 will be much (approximately 65%) better at AF than the Radeon R7 M260X. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 750 is a better choice, 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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount 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 Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
