Radeon HD 5830 vs Radeon R7 360

Intro

The Radeon HD 5830 has a core clock frequency of 800 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 1120(224x5) SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 360, which has clock speeds of 1050 MHz on the GPU, and 1625 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 768 SPUs as well as 48 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon R7 360 100 Watts
Radeon HD 5830 175 Watts
Difference: 75 Watts (75%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon HD 5830 should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 360 overall. (explain)

Radeon HD 5830 128000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 360 104000 MB/sec
Difference: 24000 (23%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 should be a bit (more or less 13%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 5830. (explain)

Radeon R7 360 50400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 5830 44800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 5600 (13%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R7 360 is superior to the Radeon HD 5830, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon R7 360 16800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 5830 12800 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 4000 (31%)

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 max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one 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 Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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 memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
