Radeon HD 4730 vs Radeon HD 5670

Intro

The Radeon HD 4730 has a GPU core clock speed of 700 MHz, and the 512 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 900 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 640(128x5) SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Compare that to the Radeon HD 5670, which features a core clock frequency of 775 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 400(80x5) SPUs, 20 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.

Radeon HD 5670 64000 MB/sec
Radeon HD 4730 57600 MB/sec
Difference: 6400 (11%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 4730 is quite a bit (approximately 45%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 5670. (explain)

Radeon HD 4730 22400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 5670 15500 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 6900 (45%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon HD 5670 will be a little bit (more or less 11%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 4730, and able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon HD 5670 6200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 4730 5600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 600 (11%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum 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 clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock 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 - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
