GeForce GT 210		31 Watts
Geforce GTX 760		170 Watts
	Difference: 139 Watts (448%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Geforce GTX 760 should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 210 overall. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 179456 (1402%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 760 is quite a bit (about 1897%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 89368 (1897%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 760 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 29004 (1231%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. 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 memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
