GeForce GT 450 (OEM) vs Radeon R9 M375

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 M375, which features core speeds of 1015 MHz on the GPU, and 1100 MHz on the 4096 MB of DDR3 memory. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GT 450 (OEM), in theory, should perform much faster than the Radeon R9 M375 overall. (explain)

GeForce GT 450 (OEM)		96000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375		35200 MB/sec
	Difference: 60800 (173%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375 is quite a bit (more or less 114%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 450 (OEM). (explain)

Radeon R9 M375		40600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 450 (OEM)		18960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21640 (114%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GT 450 (OEM) is superior to the Radeon R9 M375, though only just barely. (explain)

GeForce GT 450 (OEM)		18960 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2720 (17%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip 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 Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
