GeForce 810M vs GeForce GTX 570

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 570, which comes with GPU clock speed of 732 MHz, and 1280 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 950 MHz through a 320-bit bus. It also is comprised of 480 Stream Processors, 60 TAUs, and 40 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 810M		15 Watts
GeForce GTX 570		219 Watts
	Difference: 204 Watts (1360%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 570 should be 956% quicker than the GeForce 810M in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 570		152000 MB/sec
GeForce 810M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 137600 (956%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 570 will be quite a bit (more or less 644%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 570		43920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M		5904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 38016 (644%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 570 is superior to the GeForce 810M, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 570		29280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M		2952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 26328 (892%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
