GeForce GT 210 vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti, which uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 928 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1350 MHz on this specific model. It features 768 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 73600 (575%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti will be a lot (approximately 1160%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		59392 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 54680 (1160%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 650 Ti is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		14848 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12492 (530%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
