GeForce GT 210 vs Geforce GTX 770

Intro

Compare all of that to the Geforce GTX 770, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1046 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1753 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1536 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 770 is a lot (about 2741%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

Geforce GTX 770		133888 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 129176 (2741%)

Pixel Rate

The Geforce GTX 770 will be much (approximately 1321%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GT 210, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Geforce GTX 770		33472 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 31116 (1321%)

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 max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
