VS

Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) vs Radeon HD 6770 1GB

Intro

The Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) uses a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this specific card. It features 480 SPUs as well as 24 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Compare all that to the Radeon HD 6770 1GB, which has a GPU core clock speed of 900 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1050 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 800 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 63 Watts
Radeon HD 6770 1GB 108 Watts
Difference: 45 Watts (71%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon HD 6770 1GB should be 5% quicker than the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon HD 6770 1GB 67200 MB/sec
Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 64000 MB/sec
Difference: 3200 (5%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 6770 1GB should be quite a bit (more or less 88%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM). (explain)

Radeon HD 6770 1GB 36000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 19200 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 16800 (88%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon HD 6770 1GB should be a lot (about 125%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM), and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon HD 6770 1GB 14400 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 6400 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 8000 (125%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
