Radeon HD 4670 1GB vs Radeon R7 240

Intro

The Radeon HD 4670 1GB features a GPU core speed of 750 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR4/GDDR3/DDR3/DDR2 memory runs at 1100 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 320(64x5) SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 240, which features a clock frequency of 730 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 320 SPUs, 20 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Radeon R7 240 28800 MB/sec
Difference: 6400 (22%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 4670 1GB will be much (approximately 64%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 240. (explain)

Radeon HD 4670 1GB 24000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 240 14600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 9400 (64%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 4670 1GB is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Radeon HD 4670 1GB 6000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 240 5840 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 160 (3%)

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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core 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 processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
