GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs Radeon R9 M375

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M375, which comes with GPU core speed of 1015 MHz, and 4096 MB of DDR3 RAM running at 1100 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 640 Stream Processors, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti should in theory be quite a bit better than the Radeon R9 M375 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 980 Ti		336000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375		35200 MB/sec
	Difference: 300800 (855%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 980 Ti should be much (approximately 333%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M375. (explain)

GeForce GTX 980 Ti		176000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 135400 (333%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 980 Ti is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 980 Ti		96000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 79760 (491%)

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 maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's 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 are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
