GeForce GTX 750 vs Radeon HD 4350

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 4350, which comes with core speeds of 575 MHz on the GPU, and 500 MHz on the 512 MB of DDR2 RAM. It features 80(16x5) SPUs as well as 8 TAUs and 4 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon HD 4350		22 Watts
GeForce GTX 750		55 Watts
	Difference: 33 Watts (150%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 750 is 900% quicker than the Radeon HD 4350 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		80000 MB/sec
Radeon HD 4350		8000 MB/sec
	Difference: 72000 (900%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 is quite a bit (approximately 610%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 4350. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 4350		4600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 28040 (610%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 750 is superior to the Radeon HD 4350, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		16320 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 4350		2300 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14020 (610%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
