Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 950M vs Radeon R7 360
IntroThe GeForce GTX 950M comes with core clock speeds of 914 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all that to the Radeon R7 360, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1050 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1625 MHz on this particular card. It features 768 SPUs along with 48 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 360 should be 225% faster than the GeForce GTX 950M overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 360 should be much (about 38%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 950M. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R7 360 is a small bit (more or less 15%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GTX 950M, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster 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 can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could 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 ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
