GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon R5 M330

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R5 M330, which features a clock frequency of 1030 MHz and a DDR3 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also features a 64-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 320 SPUs, 20 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti should theoretically be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R5 M330 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
Radeon R5 M330		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 113856 (791%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is much (more or less 155%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R5 M330. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		20600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 32008 (155%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		8240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 18064 (219%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock 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 one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
