GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs Radeon HD 4350

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 4350, which features GPU clock speed of 575 MHz, and 512 MB of DDR2 RAM running at 500 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 80(16x5) SPUs, 8 TAUs, and 4 ROPs.

Radeon HD 4350		22 Watts
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		110 Watts
	Difference: 88 Watts (400%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB will be 980% faster than the Radeon HD 4350 overall, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		86400 MB/sec
Radeon HD 4350		8000 MB/sec
	Difference: 78400 (980%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB should be a lot (more or less 1191%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 4350. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 4350		4600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 54792 (1191%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is much (more or less 546%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 4350, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 4350		2300 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12548 (546%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
