GeForce 8800 GT 1GB vs Radeon R5 M330

Intro

The GeForce 8800 GT 1GB has a GPU core speed of 600 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR3 RAM runs at 900 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 112 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Compare all of that to the Radeon R5 M330, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1030 MHz. The DDR3 RAM works at a speed of 900 MHz on this particular card. It features 320 SPUs along with 20 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB should be a lot faster than the Radeon R5 M330 in general. (explain)

GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 57600 MB/sec
Radeon R5 M330 14400 MB/sec
Difference: 43200 (300%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 8800 GT 1GB is quite a bit (more or less 63%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R5 M330. (explain)

GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 33600 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R5 M330 20600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 13000 (63%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce 8800 GT 1GB should be a little bit (more or less 17%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon R5 M330, and able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 9600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R5 M330 8240 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 1360 (17%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel 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 maximum fill rate.
