GeForce 825M vs GeForce GT 210

Intro

The GeForce 825M has core clock speeds of 850 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 384 SPUs as well as 16 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the GeForce GT 210, which features a core clock speed of 589 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 800 MHz. It also uses a 64-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 16 SPUs, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 ROPs.

GeForce GT 210 12800 MB/sec
Difference: 1600 (13%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 825M will be a lot (more or less 189%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

GeForce 825M 13600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210 4712 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 8888 (189%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce 825M is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce 825M 6800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210 2356 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 4444 (189%)

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 MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
