VS

GeForce GT 340 vs Radeon HD 4750

Intro

The GeForce GT 340 has a GPU core speed of 550 MHz, and the 512 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 850 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 96 Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Compare all that to the Radeon HD 4750, which comes with a core clock frequency of 730 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 800 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is made up of 640(128x5) SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

GeForce GT 340 17600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 5760 (33%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon HD 4750 should be quite a bit (about 165%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GT 340, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon HD 4750 11680 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 340 4400 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 7280 (165%)

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 max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better 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 in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs 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 rate also depends on lots of 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.
