In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R7 360 v2 Gigabyte OC 2GB Edition are noticeably better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti Gainward 1GB Edition.

The R7 360 has a 272 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 650 Ti, but the GTX 650 Ti has 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the R7 360. As a result, the GTX 650 Ti exhibits a 1.8 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the R7 360. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The R7 360 has a 272 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 650 Ti and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the R7 360 providing 4.4 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The R7 360 was released over three years more recently than the GTX 650 Ti, and so the R7 360 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GTX 650 Ti when running the latest games.

The R7 360 has 1024 MB more video memory than the GTX 650 Ti, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the R7 360 also has superior memory performance overall.

The R7 360 has 17.6 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 650 Ti, which means that the memory performance of the R7 360 is slightly better than the GTX 650 Ti.

Both the Radeon R7 360 v2 Gigabyte OC 2GB Edition and the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Gainward 1GB Edition have 768 Shader Processing Units. While the two GPUs have the same number of SPUs, the actual performance delivered by the R7 360 is 783 and by the GTX 650 Ti is 713. Knowing that the shader performance of the R7 360 is superior, it is not necessary to examine the GPUs' respective Texture and Pixel Fill Rates.

The Radeon R7 360 v2 Gigabyte OC 2GB Edition requires 150 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Gainward 1GB Edition. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the R7 360.
