Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon HD 4350

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 4350, which features clock speeds of 575 MHz on the GPU, and 500 MHz on the 512 MB of DDR2 memory. It features 80(16x5) SPUs as well as 8 Texture Address Units and 4 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Geforce GTX 760 should theoretically be quite a bit better than the Radeon HD 4350 in general. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
Radeon HD 4350		8000 MB/sec
	Difference: 184256 (2303%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 760 will be a lot (more or less 1945%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 4350. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 4350		4600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 89480 (1945%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 760 is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 4350		2300 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 29060 (1263%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 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 graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

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