GeForce GTX 660 Ti vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R7 M360, which has clock speeds of 1125 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 660 Ti will be 800% faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 660 Ti		144000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 128000 (800%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 660 Ti will be much (approximately 280%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

GeForce GTX 660 Ti		102480 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 75480 (280%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 660 Ti is quite a bit (more or less 144%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R7 M360, and also capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 660 Ti		21960 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12960 (144%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant 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 maximum fill rate.
