GeForce GTX 460 vs Radeon R9 M375X

Intro

The GeForce GTX 460 comes with a clock frequency of 675 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is made up of 336 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 24 ROPs.

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M375X, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1015 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce GTX 460 should be just a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M375X overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460 86400 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375X 72000 MB/sec
Difference: 14400 (20%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375X will be just a bit (approximately 7%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 460. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X 40600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 460 37800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 2800 (7%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M375X is the winner, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X 16240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 460 16200 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 40 (0%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock 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 chip can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
