GeForce 810M vs GeForce 9500 GT DDR2

Intro

The GeForce 810M comes with a GPU core speed of 738 MHz, and the 1024 MB of DDR3 RAM is set to run at 900 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is comprised of 48 SPUs, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the GeForce 9500 GT DDR2, which comes with GPU core speed of 550 MHz, and 256 MB of DDR2 memory running at 500 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 32 Stream Processors, 16 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 810M 15 Watts
GeForce 9500 GT DDR2 50 Watts
Difference: 35 Watts (233%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce 9500 GT DDR2 should perform a bit faster than the GeForce 810M overall. (explain)

GeForce 9500 GT DDR2 16000 MB/sec
GeForce 810M 14400 MB/sec
Difference: 1600 (11%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 9500 GT DDR2 is quite a bit (approximately 49%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

GeForce 9500 GT DDR2 8800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M 5904 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 2896 (49%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce 9500 GT DDR2 is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce 9500 GT DDR2 4400 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M 2952 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 1448 (49%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling 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 record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
