GeForce 9800 GT 1GB vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

The GeForce 9800 GT 1GB comes with core speeds of 600 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 112 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M365X, which has a clock speed of 925 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1125 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon R9 M365X should theoretically perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce 9800 GT 1GB in general. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X 72000 MB/sec
GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 57600 MB/sec
Difference: 14400 (25%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M365X should be just a bit (more or less 10%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 9800 GT 1GB. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X 37000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 33600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 3400 (10%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M365X is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X 14800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 9600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 5200 (54%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out 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 graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can 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 ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
