GeForce 8800 GT 1GB vs Radeon R9 M370X

Intro

The GeForce 8800 GT 1GB comes with a core clock speed of 600 MHz and a GDDR3 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 65 nm design. It features 112 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M370X, which comes with clock speeds of 800 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon R9 M370X should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB in general. (explain)

Radeon R9 M370X 72000 MB/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 57600 MB/sec
Difference: 14400 (25%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 8800 GT 1GB should be a little bit (more or less 5%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 33600 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X 32000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 1600 (5%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 M370X should be quite a bit (approximately 33%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon R9 M370X 12800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 9600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 3200 (33%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock 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 most pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
