Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon R9 M370X

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 M370X, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1125 MHz on this particular card. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

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

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be much (approximately 892%) more effective 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

The Nvidia Titan X will be a lot (more or less 963%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M370X, and also able to handle higher resolutions better. (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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. 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 quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
