GeForce 810M vs GeForce 9800 GT 512MB

Intro

The GeForce 810M comes with a GPU clock speed of 738 MHz, and the 1024 MB of DDR3 memory is set to run at 900 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is made up of 48 Stream Processors, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 Raster Operation Units.

Compare that to the GeForce 9800 GT 512MB, which features a clock speed of 600 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 65/55 nm design. It is made up of 112 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 810M 15 Watts
GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 105 Watts
Difference: 90 Watts (600%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce 9800 GT 512MB will be 300% quicker than the GeForce 810M in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 57600 MB/sec
GeForce 810M 14400 MB/sec
Difference: 43200 (300%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 9800 GT 512MB will be quite a bit (approximately 469%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 33600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M 5904 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 27696 (469%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce 9800 GT 512MB is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 9600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M 2952 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 6648 (225%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs 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 output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
