GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon R9 M375

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 M375, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1015 MHz. The DDR3 RAM works at a frequency of 1100 MHz on this particular model. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon R9 M375		35200 MB/sec
	Difference: 79488 (226%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a lot (more or less 53%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R9 M375. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21320 (53%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is superior to the Radeon R9 M375, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 25040 (154%)

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 max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
