GeForce GTX Titan X vs Radeon R9 M370X

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M370X, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 800 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM 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 Titan X should in theory perform much faster than the Radeon R9 M370X overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		336000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 264000 (367%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X is quite a bit (approximately 500%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		192000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		32000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 160000 (500%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan X is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 83200 (650%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at 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 card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate 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 fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
