Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon R9 M370X

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M370X, which comes with core speeds of 800 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Nvidia Titan X should be 583% faster than the Radeon R9 M370X in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 419520 (583%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be quite a bit (about 892%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		32000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 285408 (892%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 123232 (963%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once 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 AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
