GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Radeon R9 M370X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M370X, which comes with 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 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti will be 310% quicker than the Radeon R9 M370X overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		294912 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 222912 (310%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti should be much (more or less 350%) better at AF than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		144000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		32000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 112000 (350%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		72000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 59200 (463%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR 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 of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the 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 card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
