GeForce GTX 750 vs Radeon HD 4350

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 4350, which uses a 55 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 575 MHz. The DDR2 RAM runs at a frequency of 500 MHz on this particular model. It features 80(16x5) SPUs along with 8 TAUs and 4 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon HD 4350		22 Watts
GeForce GTX 750		55 Watts
	Difference: 33 Watts (150%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX 750 should theoretically be much superior to the Radeon HD 4350 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		80000 MB/sec
Radeon HD 4350		8000 MB/sec
	Difference: 72000 (900%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 will be a lot (approximately 610%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 4350. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 4350		4600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 28040 (610%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 750 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		16320 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 4350		2300 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14020 (610%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 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, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling 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 the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. 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, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
