GeForce GTX 750 vs Radeon R9 M270X

Intro

The GeForce GTX 750 uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1020 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1250 MHz on this particular model. It features 512 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M270X, which comes with GPU core speed of 725 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 750 should in theory be a little bit faster than the Radeon R9 M270X in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 80000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M270X 72000 MB/sec
Difference: 8000 (11%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 will be a small bit (about 13%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M270X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 32640 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M270X 29000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 3640 (13%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 750 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 16320 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M270X 11600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 4720 (41%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill 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 ability to reach the max fill rate.
