Radeon HD 4850 1GB vs Radeon HD 7750

Intro

The Radeon HD 4850 1GB features a GPU core clock speed of 625 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR4 memory is set to run at 993 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 800(160x5) SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 7750, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1125 MHz on this model. It features 512 SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon HD 7750 55 Watts
Radeon HD 4850 1GB 110 Watts
Difference: 55 Watts (100%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon HD 7750 will be 13% quicker than the Radeon HD 4850 1GB in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon HD 7750 72000 MB/sec
Radeon HD 4850 1GB 63552 MB/sec
Difference: 8448 (13%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 7750 is a small bit (approximately 2%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 4850 1GB. (explain)

Radeon HD 7750 25600 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 4850 1GB 25000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 600 (2%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon HD 7750 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon HD 7750 12800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 4850 1GB 10000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 2800 (28%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core 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 one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
