GeForce GTX Titan Black vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R7 M360, which comes with a core clock frequency of 1125 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 64-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 384 SPUs, 24 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX Titan Black should in theory be much faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black is quite a bit (about 690%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 186360 (690%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan Black is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 33672 (374%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
