GeForce GTX 275 vs Radeon R7 360

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 360, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1050 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1625 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 768 SPUs, 48 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Radeon R7 360		100 Watts
GeForce GTX 275		219 Watts
	Difference: 119 Watts (119%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 275 should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 360 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 275		127008 MB/sec
Radeon R7 360		104000 MB/sec
	Difference: 23008 (22%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 275 should be a bit (approximately 0%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 360. (explain)

GeForce GTX 275		50640 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 240 (0%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 275 is superior to the Radeon R7 360, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

GeForce GTX 275		17724 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 924 (6%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it should 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 anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out 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 output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
