GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon R9 M370X

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 M370X, which features a clock speed of 800 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1125 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be a lot faster than the Radeon R9 M370X overall. (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 (about 223%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M370X, and able to handle 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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
