GeForce 810M vs Radeon RX 480

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 480, which features GPU core speed of 1120 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 2000 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2304 Stream Processors, 144 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 810M		15 Watts
Radeon RX 480		150 Watts
	Difference: 135 Watts (900%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 480 is 1720% quicker than the GeForce 810M in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 480		262144 MB/sec
GeForce 810M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 247744 (1720%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 480 should be quite a bit (approximately 2632%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

Radeon RX 480		161280 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M		5904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 155376 (2632%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 480 will be quite a bit (about 1114%) more effective at AA than the GeForce 810M, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 480		35840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M		2952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 32888 (1114%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a 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 - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends 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 maximum fill rate.
