GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon R9 M375X

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M375X, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1015 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 640 Stream Processors, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti, in theory, should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M375X in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 56256 (78%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti will be quite a bit (about 30%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M375X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12008 (30%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 10064 (62%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must 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 AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can 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 ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
