Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon R9 M370X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M370X, which features a clock frequency of 800 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1125 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Geforce GTX 760 should in theory be quite a bit better than the Radeon R9 M370X overall. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 120256 (167%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 760 is quite a bit (more or less 194%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		32000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 62080 (194%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 760 is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 18560 (145%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past 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 type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount 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 speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling 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 chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few 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.
