Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 750 Ti is 35% quicker than the Radeon R7 M260X overall, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		86400 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 22400 (35%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti should be a lot (more or less 106%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M260X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		40800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		19800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21000 (106%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 750 Ti is superior to the Radeon R7 M260X, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		16320 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		6600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 9720 (147%)

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

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied 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 one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel 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.
