GeForce GT 210 vs Radeon HD 5570

Intro

The GeForce GT 210 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 589 MHz. The DDR3 RAM runs at a frequency of 800 MHz on this specific model. It features 16 SPUs along with 8 TAUs and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 5570, which uses a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 650 MHz. The DDR3 memory runs at a speed of 900 MHz on this card. It features 400(80x5) SPUs along with 20 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
