ATI Radeon 9200 vs VisionTek XTASY 9600 256MB
Theoretical performance comparison
Real-world game, 3D graphics and compute performance is dependent on several essential graphics card parameters, including pixel fillrate, texture fillrate, memory bandwidth, single- and double-precision performance. Below you will find why they are important, and which graphics card has better characteristics.
Pixel fill rate (gigapixels/s)
2 1.6 1.2 0.8 0.4 0 |
|||||
| |||||
Higher is better
Because both graphics units have the same number of ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines), and the XTASY 9600 256MB GPU runs at higher frequency, it also has higher pixel fillrate. Having better pixel fillrate allows the card to draw more pixels on screen and off screen, which is beneficial for some 3D effects in games, or when playing at higher display resolutions.

Texture fill rate (gigatexels/s)
2 1.6 1.2 0.8 0.4 0 |

Higher is better
Another important factor, that influences overall graphics unit performance, is texture fillrate. This parameter is proportional to the number of TMUs and graphics frequency. Since two GPUs have the same number of Texture Mapping Units (TMUs) and the XTASY 9600 256MB GPU operates at higher rate, its texture fillrate is higher. Better maximum texture fill rate allows the card to utilize more complex 3D effects and/or map more textures to each texel, which improves games visual appearance.
Memory bandwidth (GB/s)
