Geforce GTX 770 vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R7 M360, which has a core clock speed of 1125 MHz and a DDR3 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also features a 64-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 384 SPUs, 24 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Geforce GTX 770 should theoretically be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

Geforce GTX 770		224384 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 208384 (1302%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 770 should be a lot (approximately 396%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Geforce GTX 770		133888 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 106888 (396%)

Pixel Rate

The Geforce GTX 770 is a lot (more or less 272%) more effective at AA than the Radeon R7 M360, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Geforce GTX 770		33472 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 24472 (272%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out 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 one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could 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 sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
