HD 4400 vs Radeon HD 8790M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the HD 4400 beats the Radeon HD 8790M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon HD 8790M has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the HD 4400 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon HD 8790M has slightly more memory with 2 GiB of memory compared to 1.66 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the HD 4400 is faster than the Radeon HD 8790M.
