GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 M360, which comes with clock speeds of 1125 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 memory. It features 384 SPUs as well as 24 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M360 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 980 Ti		336000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 320000 (2000%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 980 Ti should be much (approximately 552%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

GeForce GTX 980 Ti		176000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 149000 (552%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 980 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 967%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R7 M360, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GTX 980 Ti		96000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 87000 (967%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
