Theoretical performance comparison

Each card has several theoretical parameters that affect real-world game, 3D graphics and compute performance. They are texture fillrate, pixel fillrate, memory bandwidth, as well as single- and double-precision performance. Below we explain why these characteristics are important and which card has better specs.

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

Higher is better
There are two factors that influence the maximum texture fillrate, graphics frequency and the number of TMUs. Both models have the same number of Texture Mapping Units and the same graphics frequency, as a result their texture fillrate is equal.
