Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8400 GS 512MB vs Radeon HD 4350
IntroThe GeForce 8400 GS 512MB features a GPU clock speed of 650 MHz, and the 512 MB of DDR2 memory is set to run at 400 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 16 Stream Processors, 8 TAUs, and 4 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 4350, which has a clock frequency of 575 MHz and a DDR2 memory speed of 500 MHz. It also uses a 64-bit bus, and makes use of a 55 nm design. It is comprised of 80(16x5) SPUs, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the Radeon HD 4350 should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce 8400 GS 512MB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 8400 GS 512MB should be a small bit (more or less 13%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 4350. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce 8400 GS 512MB is a small bit (approximately 13%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 4350, and able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.

4 Responses to “GeForce 8400 GS 512MB vs Radeon HD 4350”Hi, thanks for the excellent comparison. I had ge force 8400 gs (512 MB, GDDR2) installed on my pc. In windows experience rating this card was rated 3.9 (lowest score in that rating as well). Then, I replaced ge force with the ati radeon hd 4350 (1 GB hyper memory, 512 MB DDR3) and, on my surprise, the windows experience rating came down to 3.3. However, it seems that some games that were unplayable with the ge force card I can (with lot of patience) play with the ati card.
So, I remain confused but determined to get some "proper" card asap. Regards
Weird... I wouldn't take the Windows Experience thing too seriously then. 😛
Both those cards are pretty slow though... I personally have a GeForce 9800GT and even though it's quite old now, it's waaaaaaay faster than both of those.

You might need a new power supply though. 🙂
nvidia geforce 8400 gs 512 MB @nd 1GB both are slow ATI RADEON 4350 is best than nvidia geforce 8400 gs 512 MB @nd 1GB ATI RADEON 'zinda bad'nvidia murdabad
hi i have two cards, 8400 gs 512 and ati radeon 4350 and when i test them in the same machine i found that the 4350 is better than 8400 GS
