GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon R9 M395X

Intro

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti has a GPU core speed of 822 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 1002 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 384 Stream Processors, 64 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M395X, which features clock speeds of 723 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon R9 M395X 125 Watts
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 170 Watts
Difference: 45 Watts (36%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon R9 M395X should theoretically be quite a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti in general. (explain)

Radeon R9 M395X 160000 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 128256 MB/sec
Difference: 31744 (25%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M395X will be a lot (more or less 76%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)

Radeon R9 M395X 92544 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 52608 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 39936 (76%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is superior to the Radeon R9 M395X, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti 26304 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M395X 23136 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 3168 (14%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock 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 applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
