GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Radeon R7 360

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R7 360, which features a core clock speed of 1050 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1625 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 768 SPUs, 48 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Radeon R7 360		104000 MB/sec
	Difference: 190912 (184%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 186%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 360. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		144000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 93600 (186%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is superior to the Radeon R7 360, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		72000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 55200 (329%)

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 max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip 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 clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
