GeForce GT 210 vs Radeon VII

Intro

The GeForce GT 210 has a clock frequency of 589 MHz and a DDR3 memory speed of 800 MHz. It also features a 64-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 16 SPUs, 8 TAUs, and 4 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon VII, which features a clock frequency of 1400 MHz and a HBM2 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 4096-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It features 3840 SPUs, 240 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 210 31 Watts
Radeon VII 295 Watts
Difference: 264 Watts (852%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon VII is 8092% faster than the GeForce GT 210 overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon VII 1048576 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210 12800 MB/sec
Difference: 1035776 (8092%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII will be quite a bit (approximately 7031%) more effective at AF 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 should be quite a bit (about 3703%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GT 210, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in MB 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 its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
