GeForce GTX 465 vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 560, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1175 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 560		80 Watts
GeForce GTX 465		200 Watts
	Difference: 120 Watts (150%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 560 will be 12% faster than the GeForce GTX 465 overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 465		102592 MB/sec
	Difference: 12096 (12%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 will be a lot (more or less 182%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 465. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 465		26708 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 48492 (182%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 465 should be a little bit (about 3%) better at FSAA than the Radeon RX 560, and able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 465		19424 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 624 (3%)

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 transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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 memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
