ATI Radeon HD 4850 vs HIS Radeon HD 4850 IceQ 4 1 GB (H485Q1GH)

Theoretical performance comparison

Each GPU has several theoretical parameters that influence real-world game, 3D graphics and compute performance. They are pixel fillrate, texture fillrate, memory bandwidth, single- and double-precision performance. Below you will find why they are important, and which card has better characteristics.

Higher is better
Pixel fillrate parameter shows how many pixels a GPU can draw on screen and off screen. Higher numbers allow cards to support higher maximum display resolutions and frame rates. There are two characteristics that affect the maximum pixel fillrate. These are the number of ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines) and graphics clock speed. Since both characteristics are identical between graphics cards, their pixel fillrate is also equal.

Higher is better
Because two models have the same number of TMUs and the same graphics clock speed, their texture fillrate is identical.

Higher is better
Single Precision performance indicates how good the card is at executing programs, that make an extensive use of single-precision floating point numbers. This performance is expressed in billions of Floating Point Operations Per Second, or GFLOPS. As a rule, the faster stream processors or CUDA cores run at, and the more cores / processors the graphics card has, the better Single Precision performance will be. These two GPUs have the same maximum single-precision performance.

Similar to Single Precision performance, Double Precision one also provides the maximum number of floating-point operations, executed by stream processors or CUDA cores, but it refers to double precision (64-bit) operations. Both graphics cards have the same performance.
