GeForce 810M vs GeForce GT 210

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce GT 210, which comes with GPU core speed of 589 MHz, and 512 MB of DDR3 memory running at 800 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 16 SPUs, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 810M		15 Watts
GeForce GT 210		31 Watts
	Difference: 16 Watts (107%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce 810M should theoretically perform just a bit faster than the GeForce GT 210 overall. (explain)

GeForce 810M		14400 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 1600 (13%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 810M is a lot (approximately 25%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

GeForce 810M		5904 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 1192 (25%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce 810M is much (more or less 25%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 210, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce 810M		2952 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 596 (25%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock 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 processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
