GeForce GT 210 vs GeForce GTX 780 Ti

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 780 Ti, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 875 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 2880 SPUs along with 240 Texture Address Units and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 323200 (2525%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 780 Ti will be a lot (approximately 4357%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

GeForce GTX 780 Ti		210000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 205288 (4357%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 780 Ti is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 780 Ti		42000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 39644 (1683%)

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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called 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 of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
