GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon R9 M370X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M370X, which features core clock speeds of 800 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be 59% quicker than the Radeon R9 M370X in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 42688 (59%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be much (more or less 94%) better at AF than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		32000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 29920 (94%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a lot (approximately 223%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M370X, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 28480 (223%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour 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 also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
