GeForce GTX 570 vs Radeon R9 M375X

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M375X, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1015 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 640 Stream Processors, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 570 should in theory perform much faster than the Radeon R9 M375X in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 570		152000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 80000 (111%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 570 will be a bit (more or less 8%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M375X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 570		43920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 3320 (8%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 570 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 570		29280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13040 (80%)

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 MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video 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 number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many 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.
