GeForce 810M vs GeForce GTS 150

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTS 150, which features a GPU core clock speed of 740 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR3 RAM running at 500 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 128 Stream Processors, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

GeForce 810M		15 Watts
GeForce GTS 150		141 Watts
	Difference: 126 Watts (840%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce GTS 150 should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce 810M in general. (explain)

GeForce GTS 150		32000 MB/sec
GeForce 810M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 17600 (122%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTS 150 should be quite a bit (approximately 702%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

GeForce GTS 150		47360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M		5904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 41456 (702%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTS 150 should be much (approximately 301%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce 810M, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GTS 150		11840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M		2952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8888 (301%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's 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 rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
