The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is much (approximately 1160%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 54680 (1160%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB will be quite a bit (about 530%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GT 210, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		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 max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR 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 texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
