GeForce GTX 460 SE vs Radeon RX 460

Intro

The GeForce GTX 460 SE has clock speeds of 650 MHz on the GPU, and 850 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 288 SPUs as well as 48 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 460, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1090 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 896 SPUs as well as 56 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 460 75 Watts
GeForce GTX 460 SE 150 Watts
Difference: 75 Watts (100%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 460 should be just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 460 SE overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 460 112000 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 460 SE 108800 MB/sec
Difference: 3200 (3%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 will be quite a bit (approximately 96%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 460 SE. (explain)

Radeon RX 460 61040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 460 SE 31200 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 29840 (96%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 460 SE is a better choice, though not by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460 SE 20800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460 17440 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 3360 (19%)

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 maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of 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 applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core 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 output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
