Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB should perform just a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M370X in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		86400 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 14400 (20%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB will be quite a bit (approximately 86%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		32000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 27392 (86%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is superior to the Radeon R9 M370X, but only just. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2048 (16%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
