The first number of the model is the YEAR or GENERATION of the card.
For instance, the Radeon HD 60 series began in 2010 and the Radeon HD 70 began in 2011.
The nVidia 5 series began in 2010 and the nVidia 6 series began in 2011.
The the numbers following the first digit represent the performance level in the series.
So a Radeon HD 6670 is slower than a Radeon HD 6850.
And an nVidia GTX 560 is slower than a GTX 570.
This formula is good for comparing cards of the same brand. So comparing two nVidia cards or comparing two AMD cards.
Since the two companies have different manufacturing and design processes, their performances will differ. For example, an AMD Radeon HD 6850 is actually slower than an nVidia GTX 570.
For this very reason, we use real benchmark tests to determine the performances of our cards.
You will see that a Radeon HD 45xx is faster than a 94 GT, which is faster than a Radeon HD 43xx.
So…
HD 45 > 94 GT > HD 43
Neither are good but the 94GT is better between them. It might be able to play on low settings.
Dylan C has explained the numbering system of graphics card models nicely, but whenever possible look for test results which show in-game performance. In many cases synthetic benchmark rankings don’t accurately reflect real-world performance in game titles, especially when you’re comparing cards which are fairly close together.
In any event a Radeon HD 4550 is faster than a GeForce 94GT (which was later renamed the GeForce 210) and both of those cards are faster than a Radeon HD 4350.

DayZ is an Arma II mod…. for that game you’ll really want at least a Radeon HD 7750 or GeForce GTX 650 to play on high settings. At least a GT 630 or Radeon HD 6570 for medium.
