GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Radeon R7 360

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R7 360, which comes with core clock speeds of 1050 MHz on the GPU, and 1625 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 768 SPUs as well as 48 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon R7 360		104000 MB/sec
	Difference: 190912 (184%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is quite a bit (about 186%) better at AF than the Radeon R7 360. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		144000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 93600 (186%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is superior to the Radeon R7 360, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		72000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 55200 (329%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the 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 most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. 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 rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
