Radeon HD 4350 vs Radeon R7 M260X

Intro

The Radeon HD 4350 makes use of a 55 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 575 MHz. The DDR2 RAM works at a speed of 500 MHz on this specific card. It features 80(16x5) SPUs along with 8 Texture Address Units and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 M260X, which has GPU core speed of 825 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1000 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 384 Stream Processors, 24 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon R7 M260X should in theory be much superior to the Radeon HD 4350 overall. (explain)

Radeon R7 M260X 64000 MB/sec
Radeon HD 4350 8000 MB/sec
Difference: 56000 (700%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M260X should be a lot (more or less 330%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 4350. (explain)

Radeon R7 M260X 19800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 4350 4600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 15200 (330%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 M260X is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon R7 M260X 6600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 4350 2300 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 4300 (187%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few 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.
