GeForce 810M vs Radeon R7 370 2G

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R7 370 2G, which comes with a clock frequency of 975 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1400 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 1024 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce 810M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 164800 (1144%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 370 2G should be much (more or less 957%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		62400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M		5904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 56496 (957%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 370 2G is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		31200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M		2952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 28248 (957%)

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 across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better 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 can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units 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 fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
