GeForce 810M vs GeForce GT 130

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce GT 130, which has core speeds of 500 MHz on the GPU, and 250 MHz on the 768 MB of DDR2 memory. It features 48 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 810M		15 Watts
GeForce GT 130		75 Watts
	Difference: 60 Watts (400%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce 810M is 20% quicker than the GeForce GT 130 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce 810M		14400 MB/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 MB/sec
	Difference: 2400 (20%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GT 130 is quite a bit (about 103%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

GeForce GT 130		12000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M		5904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 6096 (103%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GT 130 is superior to the GeForce 810M, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GT 130		8000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M		2952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 5048 (171%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core 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 most pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs 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 is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
