GeForce 810M vs GeForce GTX 570

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 570, which features clock speeds of 732 MHz on the GPU, and 950 MHz on the 1280 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 480 SPUs as well as 60 Texture Address Units and 40 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce 810M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 137600 (956%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 570 should be quite a bit (more or less 644%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 570		43920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M		5904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 38016 (644%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 570 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 570		29280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M		2952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 26328 (892%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
