GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 M365X, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 925 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1125 MHz on this specific card. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti should theoretically be quite a bit superior to the Radeon R9 M365X overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 56256 (78%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti should be much (about 42%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 15608 (42%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is quite a bit (more or less 78%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M365X, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11504 (78%)

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 max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
