GeForce 810M vs GeForce 8800 GTX

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce 8800 GTX, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 575 MHz, and 768 MB of GDDR3 memory running at 900 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is made up of 128 Stream Processors, 64 TAUs, and 24 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce 810M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 72000 (500%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 8800 GTX should be a lot (more or less 523%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

GeForce 8800 GTX		36800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M		5904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 30896 (523%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce 8800 GTX should be much (about 367%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce 810M, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce 8800 GTX		13800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M		2952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 10848 (367%)

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 maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the 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 amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount 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 fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
