GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB vs Radeon R9 M375

Intro

The GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB uses a 65 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 550 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM runs at a frequency of 800 MHz on this specific card. It features 96 SPUs along with 48 Texture Address Units and 12 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M375, which features core clock speeds of 1015 MHz on the GPU, and 1100 MHz on the 4096 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

The GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB should theoretically perform a little bit faster than the Radeon R9 M375 overall. (explain)

GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB 38400 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375 35200 MB/sec
Difference: 3200 (9%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375 should be a lot (about 54%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375 40600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB 26400 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 14200 (54%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375 is quite a bit (about 146%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375 16240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB 6600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 9640 (146%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

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