ATI Radeon HD 4710

The ATI Radeon HD 4710 is a 55 nm TeraScale GPU built around the RV730 chip and manufactured by AMD at TSMC. It packs 514 million transistors into a 146 mm² die, for a transistor density of 3.5M per mm². The rendering configuration consists of 320 shading units, 32 texture units, and 8 ROPs. Memory is 1024 MB of GDDR3 on a 128-bit bus, with an 800 MHz / 1600 Mbps effective memory clock and 25.60 GB/s of bandwidth. In the database, the card’s benchmark array is empty, its average benchmark score is 0, and its nearestRivals array is empty; the only aggregate ranking is a 50th percentile against all GPUs. Consequently, the performance analysis below is built from the listed theoretical rates — 6.000 GPixel/s, 24.00 GTexel/s, and 480.0 GFLOPS FP32 — and from the card’s architectural limits.

Benchmark Performance

The data contains no recorded benchmark scores for the ATI Radeon HD 4710. The benchmarks array is empty, the average benchmark score is 0, and there are no nearestRivals entries from which to draw exact deltaPct values. The single comparative data point is the 50th percentile against all GPUs, which places the card at the midpoint of the database’s GPU population. That percentile is not supported by measured game scores in this entry, so it should be taken only as a rank signal, not as a validated performance figure.

The listed fixed-function rates are more concrete. The pixel rate is 6.000 GPixel/s, the texture rate is 24.00 GTexel/s, and the FP32 throughput is 480.0 GFLOPS. These numbers map directly to the hardware units: 320 shading units produce the FP32 rate, 32 TMUs drive the texture rate, and 8 ROPs drive the pixel rate. The relationship between the pixel rate and texture rate is consistent with the card’s unit allocation, meaning the TeraScale rasterization path is internally balanced at the specification level.

Memory throughput is the most restrictive part of the specification sheet. The 128-bit GDDR3 interface and 800 MHz / 1600 Mbps effective memory clock produce 25.60 GB/s of bandwidth. That figure sets an upper bound on how quickly textures, framebuffers, and geometry data can move across the system. With 1024 MB of memory, the frame buffer is also limited in size. A workload that exceeds either the bandwidth or the buffer capacity will stall the rendering pipeline regardless of the pixel rate or texture rate. Therefore, the raw throughput numbers describe a GPU with moderate fill capacity but a comparatively narrow memory path.

The zero average benchmark score should not be read as a literal measured result. It is the default entry in the database when no benchmark information has been submitted. The empty benchmarks array and empty nearestRivals array reinforce that this GPU lacks direct test data. The theoretical rates remain available, but they do not translate into a frame-rate figure without a benchmark run recorded in the database.

Who Should Consider It

Because no benchmark scores are recorded, exact resolution and settings recommendations cannot be derived from measured results. Instead, the card’s specification profile defines a limited but coherent use case. The 59 W TDP, single-slot design, PCIe 2.0 x16 interface, and 250 W suggested PSU mean the card fits into systems with modest power and physical requirements. It is an easy card to accommodate from a mechanical standpoint.

The 1024 MB GDDR3 frame buffer and 25.60 GB/s bandwidth indicate that large, high-resolution texture workloads will be constrained. The 6.000 GPixel/s fill rate and 24.00 GTexel/s texturing rate are the card’s main rasterization resources. These rates are suited to lower-resolution rendering and reduced texture detail; high pixel counts or heavy filtering would press against both the fill rate and the memory bandwidth. The database contains no scores to contradict or confirm this, but the hardware math is explicit.

The display output set is 2x DVI and 1x S-Video. That makes the card relevant for users with DVI-era monitors or S-Video displays. The card’s release date of 2008-09-09 places it in the product lineup of that period, and its 50th-percentile position in the database suggests a middle-of-pack ranking, though again the zero average benchmark score means that ranking is not grounded in measured entries.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The ATI Radeon HD 4710 has no ray tracing cores and no tensor cores listed; both fields are null in the database. Its feature set is therefore purely rasterization-based. The TeraScale architecture and RV730 chip expose 320 shading units, 32 texture units, and 8 ROPs, with GDDR3 memory feeding those units. No dedicated hardware acceleration for ray-traced effects or tensor workloads is documented.

API support is DirectX 10.1 with feature level 10_1, plus OpenGL 3.3. Vulkan is not listed, so any application requiring Vulkan is outside the card’s documented feature set. The absence of Vulkan, RT cores, and tensor cores separates this GPU from later hardware that includes those capabilities. In the data, the feature story is a straightforward TeraScale rasterizer: 6.000 GPixel/s pixel throughput, 24.00 GTexel/s texture throughput, and 480.0 GFLOPS FP32 compute all describe a conventional fixed-function rendering pipeline.

The memory subsystem is also part of the feature set. The 128-bit bus, 800 MHz / 1600 Mbps effective memory clock, and 25.60 GB/s bandwidth define the data movement limits for the shader units. The 1024 MB buffer is the total memory resource. The card’s display outputs, 2x DVI and 1x S-Video, round out the feature list; there are no additional output types recorded in the data.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals array for the ATI Radeon HD 4710 is empty, so this entry provides no rival names, no rival scores, and no deltaPct comparisons. The data cannot support statements such as “ahead of a rival by X percent” or “behind a rival by Y score,” because no such fields exist for this GPU. The only comparative value is the 50th percentile against all GPUs, which places the card in the middle of the database’s population; the zero average benchmark score limits how much weight that percentile can carry.

Within its product lineage, the HD 4710 sits in the Radeon R700 (HD 4700) generation of AMD’s TeraScale architecture. The predecessor is listed as Radeon R600, and the successor is Evergreen. No specifications or benchmark scores are provided for either of those families in this card’s data entry, so the comparison stops at lineage rather than extending to quantitative deltas. The HD 4710 is a 55 nm, 514-million-transistor GPU with 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory and 25.60 GB/s of bandwidth, but how those figures relate to the R600 or Evergreen families is not recorded in the fact pack.
