GeForce GTX 1050 vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1050 comes with a clock speed of 1354 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 M365X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 925 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1125 MHz on this specific model. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Radeon R9 M365X 72000 MB/sec
Difference: 42688 (59%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 should be much (about 46%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 54160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X 37000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 17160 (46%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 is superior to the Radeon R9 M365X, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 43328 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X 14800 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 28528 (193%)

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 moved across the external memory interface within 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 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
