Value for money

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

Technical specs

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	128	6
Core clock speed	614 MHz	2 MHz
Boost clock speed	724 MHz	200 MHz
Number of transistors	1,303 million	no data
Manufacturing process technology	32 nm	150 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	65 Watt	no data
Texture fill rate	6.400	no data

Size and compatibility

Information on Radeon HD 7480D and GeForce4 4200 Go compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
