GeForce GTX 750 Ti vs Radeon HD 4350

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 4350, which comes with a core clock frequency of 575 MHz and a DDR2 memory frequency of 500 MHz. It also features a 64-bit bus, and uses a 55 nm design. It is comprised of 80(16x5) SPUs, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 Raster Operation Units.

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti will be quite a bit (approximately 787%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon HD 4350. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		40800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 4350		4600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 36200 (787%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti will be a lot (more or less 610%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 4350, and able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

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