Radeon HD 4850 512MB vs Radeon HD 6750 1GB

Intro

The Radeon HD 4850 512MB features a core clock speed of 625 MHz and a GDDR3 memory speed of 993 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 55 nm design. It is made up of 800(160x5) SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6750 1GB, which features clock speeds of 725 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 720 SPUs as well as 36 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon HD 4850 512MB 63552 MB/sec
Difference: 448 (1%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 6750 1GB should be just a bit (about 4%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 4850 512MB. (explain)

Radeon HD 6750 1GB 26100 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 4850 512MB 25000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 1100 (4%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 6750 1GB is superior to the Radeon HD 4850 512MB, but not by far. (explain)

Radeon HD 6750 1GB 11600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 4850 512MB 10000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 1600 (16%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
