Radeon R7 360		104000 MB/sec
	Difference: 387520 (373%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is much (more or less 530%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R7 360. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 267008 (530%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is a lot (more or less 710%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R7 360, and capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 119232 (710%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
