GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R7 M360, which has a core clock speed of 1125 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also features a 64-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 384 SPUs, 24 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti should be 702% quicker than the Radeon R7 M360 in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 112256 (702%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is a lot (approximately 95%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 25608 (95%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is a lot (about 192%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon R7 M360, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 17304 (192%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
