Radeon HD 6770 vs Radeon R9 M270X

Intro

The Radeon HD 6770 features a GPU core speed of 900 MHz, and the 512 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 1050 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 800 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 M270X, which features core clock speeds of 725 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon HD 6770 36000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M270X 29000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 7000 (24%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon HD 6770 should be much (about 24%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon R9 M270X, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon HD 6770 14400 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M270X 11600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 2800 (24%)

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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
