GeForce GT 210 vs GeForce GTX Titan

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX Titan, which has GPU core speed of 837 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1502 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also features 2688 SPUs, 224 Texture Address Units, and 48 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 210		31 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan		250 Watts
	Difference: 219 Watts (706%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce GTX Titan should be a lot faster than the GeForce GT 210 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		288384 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 275584 (2153%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan will be quite a bit (more or less 3879%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		187488 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 182776 (3879%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan should be a lot (approximately 1605%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GT 210, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		40176 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 37820 (1605%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
