GeForce GTX 460 vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M365X, which features core clock speeds of 925 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 460 should perform a small bit faster than the Radeon R9 M365X in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460		86400 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 14400 (20%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 460 is a small bit (more or less 2%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460		37800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 800 (2%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 460 will be a small bit (more or less 9%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M365X, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460		16200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1400 (9%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
