GeForce 8800 GT 1GB vs Radeon R9 M375X

Intro

The GeForce 8800 GT 1GB has core speeds of 600 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR3 RAM. It features 112 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare that to the Radeon R9 M375X, which comes with 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 is made up of 640 Stream Processors, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R9 M375X will be 25% faster than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X 72000 MB/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 57600 MB/sec
Difference: 14400 (25%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375X is quite a bit (approximately 21%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X 40600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 33600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 7000 (21%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375X is much (about 69%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X 16240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 9600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 6640 (69%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock 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 faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
