GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 M360, which comes with core clock speeds of 1125 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB should theoretically be quite a bit superior to the Radeon R7 M360 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		86400 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 70400 (440%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB should be a lot (more or less 120%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 32392 (120%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 5848 (65%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out 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 fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
