GeForce GT 210 vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M365X, which has a GPU core clock speed of 925 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 640 Stream Processors, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 M365X should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 210 overall. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 59200 (463%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M365X is a lot (approximately 685%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 32288 (685%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M365X is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12444 (528%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video 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 the video card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
