GeForce GT 210 vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which features a core clock frequency of 1020 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1350 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 210		31 Watts
GeForce GTX 750 Ti		60 Watts
	Difference: 29 Watts (94%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 750 Ti should be 575% quicker than the GeForce GT 210 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		86400 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 73600 (575%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti will be a lot (more or less 766%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		40800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 36088 (766%)

Pixel Rate

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

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, 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 is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
