GeForce 810M vs GeForce GTX 260 Core 216

Intro

The GeForce 810M features a core clock frequency of 738 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also uses a 64-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 48 SPUs, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 ROPs.

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 260 Core 216, which features a GPU core clock speed of 576 MHz, and 896 MB of GDDR3 memory running at 999 MHz through a 448-bit bus. It also is comprised of 216 SPUs, 72 TAUs, and 28 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce 810M 14400 MB/sec
Difference: 97488 (677%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 should be quite a bit (approximately 602%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 41472 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M 5904 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 35568 (602%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 is superior to the GeForce 810M, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 16128 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M 2952 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 13176 (446%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as 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 ability to get to the max fill rate.
