GeForce GTX 590 vs Radeon R9 M375X

Intro

The GeForce GTX 590 features core clock speeds of 607 MHz on the GPU, and 855 MHz on the 1536 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 512 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 M375X, which features a clock speed of 1015 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1125 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 590 should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M375X overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 590 328320 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375X 72000 MB/sec
Difference: 256320 (356%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 590 should be much (approximately 91%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M375X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 590 77696 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X 40600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 37096 (91%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 590 is much (more or less 259%) better at AA than the Radeon R9 M375X, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 590 58272 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X 16240 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 42032 (259%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
