GeForce GT 210 vs Radeon HD 6750

Intro

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

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

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

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, 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 quite a bit (approximately 454%) faster with regards to 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 running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 6750 is a better choice, and very much so. (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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, 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 texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel 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 potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
