GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon R5 M330

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R5 M330, which comes with core speeds of 1030 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 memory. It features 320 SPUs as well as 20 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti should in theory perform much faster than the Radeon R5 M330 in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti should be much (about 155%) better 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 using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is a better choice, and very much so. (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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it must 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 anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
