Theoretical performance comparison

Each graphics card has several essential theoretical parameters that affect real-world game, 3D graphics and compute performance. They are texture fillrate, pixel fillrate, memory bandwidth, single- and double-precision performance. Below you will find why they are important, and which graphics card has better characteristics.

Higher is better
Pixel fillrate number shows how many pixels a graphics unit can draw on screen and off screen. Higher numbers allow graphics cards to support higher display resolutions and frame rates. There are two factors that affect the maximum pixel fillrate. They are the number of ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines) and graphics frequency. Since both characteristics are identical between GPUs, their pixel fillrate is also equal.

Higher is better
There are two factors that influence the maximum theoretical texture fillrate. These are the number of TMUs and graphics clock. Because both models have the same number of Texture Mapping Units and the same graphics frequency, their texture fillrate is identical.
