GeForce GTX 950M vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R7 M360, which features core clock speeds of 1125 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 memory. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 950M, in theory, should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 950M		32000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 16000 (100%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 950M will be much (more or less 35%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

GeForce GTX 950M		36560 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 9560 (35%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 950M is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 950M		14624 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 5624 (62%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the 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 maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
