User reviews

Performance

GPU clock speed

775MHz

1000MHz

The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.

GPU turbo

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon HD 6850)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Asus HD 7770)

When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.

pixel rate

24.8 GPixel/s

16 GPixel/s

The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

floating-point performance

1.49 TFLOPS

1.28 TFLOPS

Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.

texture rate

37.2 GTexels/s

40 GTexels/s

The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

GPU memory speed

1000MHz

1125MHz

The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.

shading units

Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.

texture mapping units (TMUs)

TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.

render output units (ROPs)

The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.

Memory

effective memory speed

4000MHz

4500MHz

The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.

maximum memory bandwidth

128GB/s

72GB/s

This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.

VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.

memory bus width

256bit

128bit

A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.

version of GDDR memory

Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.

Supports ECC memory

✖AMD Radeon HD 6850

✖Asus HD 7770

Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.

Features

DirectX version

DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

OpenGL version

OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

OpenCL version

Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.

Supports multi-display technology

✔AMD Radeon HD 6850

✔Asus HD 7770

The graphics card supports multi-display technology. This allows you to configure multiple monitors in order to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as having a wider field of view.

load GPU temperature

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Asus HD 7770)

A lower load temperature means that the card produces less heat and its cooling system performs better.

supports ray tracing

✖AMD Radeon HD 6850

✖Asus HD 7770

Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.

Supports 3D

✔AMD Radeon HD 6850

✔Asus HD 7770

Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D display and glasses).

supports DLSS

✖AMD Radeon HD 6850

✖Asus HD 7770

DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an upscaling technology powered by AI. It allows the graphics card to render games at a lower resolution and upscale them to a higher resolution with near-native visual quality and increased performance. DLSS is only available on select games.

PassMark (G3D) result
