GeForce GT 210		31 Watts
Geforce GTX 770		230 Watts
	Difference: 199 Watts (642%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Geforce GTX 770 will be 1653% faster than the GeForce GT 210 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Geforce GTX 770		224384 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 211584 (1653%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 770 will be much (approximately 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 should be quite a bit (approximately 1321%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GT 210, and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (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 maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
