Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon R5 M330

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R5 M330, which comes with clock speeds of 1030 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 320 SPUs as well as 20 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Geforce GTX 760 should theoretically be a lot faster than the Radeon R5 M330 overall. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
Radeon R5 M330		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 177856 (1235%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 760 should be much (more or less 357%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R5 M330. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		20600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 73480 (357%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 760 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		8240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23120 (281%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its 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 core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
