Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon R5 M330

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R5 M330, which features a clock frequency of 1030 MHz and a DDR3 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 64-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 320 SPUs, 20 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Geforce GTX 760 should theoretically perform much faster than the Radeon R5 M330 in general. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
Radeon R5 M330		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 177856 (1235%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 760 should be quite a bit (approximately 357%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R5 M330. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		20600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 73480 (357%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 760 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		8240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23120 (281%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across 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 RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card 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 amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many 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.
