GeForce GT 210 vs GeForce GTX 750

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 750, which comes with a clock speed of 1020 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1250 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 512 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 210		31 Watts
GeForce GTX 750		55 Watts
	Difference: 24 Watts (77%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce GTX 750 should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 210 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		80000 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 67200 (525%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 should be a lot (approximately 593%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 27928 (593%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 750 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		16320 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13964 (593%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 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 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 quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
