GeForce 920M vs GeForce GT 210

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GT 210, which has GPU clock speed of 589 MHz, and 512 MB of DDR3 memory running at 800 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 16 Stream Processors, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce 920M should perform a small bit faster than the GeForce GT 210 in general. (explain)

GeForce 920M		14400 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 1600 (13%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 920M will be much (more or less 548%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

GeForce 920M		30528 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 25816 (548%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce 920M is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce 920M		7632 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 5276 (224%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's 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 output 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 ability to reach the max fill rate.
