GeForce GT 210 vs Radeon HD 6750

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 6750, which features core clock speeds of 725 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 512 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 720 SPUs as well as 36 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GT 210		31 Watts
Radeon HD 6750		86 Watts
	Difference: 55 Watts (177%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon HD 6750 should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 210 in general. (explain)

Radeon HD 6750		64000 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 51200 (400%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 6750 should be a lot (about 454%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

Radeon HD 6750		26100 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21388 (454%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon HD 6750 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon HD 6750		11600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 9244 (392%)

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 moved past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
