Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 4850 512MB vs Radeon HD 6770 1GB
IntroThe Radeon HD 4850 512MB features a GPU clock speed of 625 MHz, and the 512 MB of GDDR3 memory is set to run at 993 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 800(160x5) Stream Processors, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6770 1GB, which comes with GPU clock speed of 900 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1050 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 800 Stream Processors, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon HD 6770 1GB, in theory, should be a little bit faster than the Radeon HD 4850 512MB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6770 1GB will be quite a bit (more or less 44%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon HD 4850 512MB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6770 1GB should be much (approximately 44%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon HD 4850 512MB, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

One Response to “Radeon HD 4850 512MB vs Radeon HD 6770 1GB”[...] #2 i would probably choose option 1, this is due to the faster graphic card. 1tb enough memory also. and if its an old mac there is a possibility to have a older cpu. thats just my opinion.
