GeForce GT 430 (OEM) vs Radeon R9 M375X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M375X, which has a core clock frequency 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 is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon R9 M375X should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM) in general. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X		72000 MB/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 43200 (150%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375X is much (about 263%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM). (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X		40600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 29400 (263%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375X should be a lot (about 480%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X		16240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13440 (480%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
