GeForce GTX Titan Black vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R7 M360, which features a core clock frequency of 1125 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also uses a 64-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 384 SPUs, 24 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX Titan Black, in theory, should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		336000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 320000 (2000%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black is much (more or less 690%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 186360 (690%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan Black is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 33672 (374%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
