GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon R7 M260X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R7 M260X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 825 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this particular model. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti should in theory be much superior to the Radeon R7 M260X overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 198144 (310%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be quite a bit (more or less 1134%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 M260X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		19800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 224464 (1134%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		6600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 96248 (1458%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the 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 card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number 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 video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

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