GeForce 810M vs Radeon R5 M230

Intro

The GeForce 810M has a clock speed of 738 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 64-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 48 SPUs, 8 TAUs, and 4 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R5 M230, which has clock speeds of 780 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 320 SPUs as well as 20 TAUs and 4 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon R5 M230, in theory, should perform just a bit faster than the GeForce 810M in general. (explain)

Radeon R5 M230 16000 MB/sec
GeForce 810M 14400 MB/sec
Difference: 1600 (11%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R5 M230 is quite a bit (about 164%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

Radeon R5 M230 15600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M 5904 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 9696 (164%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R5 M230 is a better choice, though only just barely. (explain)

Radeon R5 M230 3120 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M 2952 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 168 (6%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
