GeForce GTX 960M vs Radeon R9 M375X

Intro

The GeForce GTX 960M comes with a core clock frequency of 1096 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M375X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1015 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1125 MHz on this specific model. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R9 M375X should be 13% quicker than the GeForce GTX 960M overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X 72000 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 960M 64000 MB/sec
Difference: 8000 (13%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 960M should be a bit (approximately 8%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M375X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 960M 43840 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X 40600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 3240 (8%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 960M is superior to the Radeon R9 M375X, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

GeForce GTX 960M 17536 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X 16240 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 1296 (8%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs 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 fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
