GeForce 810M vs GeForce GTX 560

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 560, which features core speeds of 810 MHz on the GPU, and 1001 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 336 SPUs as well as 56 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 810M		15 Watts
GeForce GTX 560		150 Watts
	Difference: 135 Watts (900%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce GTX 560 should in theory be much superior to the GeForce 810M in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560		128128 MB/sec
GeForce 810M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 113728 (790%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 should be a lot (approximately 668%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560		45360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M		5904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 39456 (668%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 is quite a bit (more or less 778%) more effective at AA than the GeForce 810M, and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560		25920 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M		2952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 22968 (778%)

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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once 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 anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card 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 applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
