Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 275 should perform much faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 275		127008 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 111008 (694%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 275 should be quite a bit (more or less 88%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

GeForce GTX 275		50640 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 23640 (88%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 275 is a lot (about 97%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R7 M360, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 275		17724 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8724 (97%)

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 data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number 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 output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
