GeForce GTX Titan Black vs Radeon R9 M370X

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 M370X, which has core speeds of 800 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX Titan Black should in theory be much superior to the Radeon R9 M370X overall. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black is a lot (more or less 567%) better at AF than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		32000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 181360 (567%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan Black is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 29872 (233%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses 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 higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per 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 better the texel rate, the better the 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
