GeForce GT 210 vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon VII, which has core speeds of 1400 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 16384 MB of HBM2 RAM. It features 3840 SPUs along with 240 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 1035776 (8092%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII should be quite a bit (approximately 7031%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 331288 (7031%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon VII is much (about 3703%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 210, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 87244 (3703%)

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 max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over 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 type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
