GeForce 9800 GTX+ vs Radeon R9 M375X

Intro

The GeForce 9800 GTX+ features core clock speeds of 738 MHz on the GPU, and 1100 MHz on the 512 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 128 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare 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 features a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R9 M375X is 2% faster than the GeForce 9800 GTX+ overall, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X 72000 MB/sec
GeForce 9800 GTX+ 70400 MB/sec
Difference: 1600 (2%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 9800 GTX+ should be just a bit (approximately 16%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M375X. (explain)

GeForce 9800 GTX+ 47232 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X 40600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 6632 (16%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375X should be quite a bit (more or less 38%) better at AA than the GeForce 9800 GTX+, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X 16240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9800 GTX+ 11808 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 4432 (38%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
