GeForce GT 210 vs Radeon HD 5450
Intro
The GeForce GT 210 uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 589 MHz. The DDR3 RAM runs at a frequency of 800 MHz on this card. It features 16 SPUs as well as 8 TAUs and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 5450, which uses a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 650 MHz. The DDR3 memory is set to run at a speed of 800 MHz on this particular model. It features 80(16x5) SPUs along with 8 Texture Address Units and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.

5200 Mtexels/sec |
| GeForce GT 210 |
|
4712 Mtexels/sec |

Pixel Rate
The Radeon HD 5450 will be a bit (approximately 10%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 210, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)| Radeon HD 5450 |
|
2600 Mpixels/sec |
| GeForce GT 210 |
|
2356 Mpixels/sec |

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR 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 worked out by multiplying the total 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 in a second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

Glad I went with the HD5450!
I wish I'd discovered this website before!
Rejoice all you want,but I used to have both of them.G 210 works well in Crysis,metro 2033 etc. Whereas performing slightly bad in Assassins Creed and Splinter cell conviction.And the 5450 results were Vice Versa. It is due to the games supporting the architecture of different makes.
gta4 has poor performance on my ati 5450. i dont know abt gforce210
Does both cards have sound over hdmi ?

Bought the gt 210,
I say the Intel HD3000 is faster by 20%.
HD3000 running Mass Effect 3 1920x1080 Low at 20~30FPS but the GT210 ran at 5~13FPS.
i have galaxy geforce 210 ddr3 1Gb. and it runs test drive unlimited 2 & mafia 2 well. but i wanna try the hd 5450 too, i think it works better with my AMD.
Yo tengo las dos tarjetas sólo las he probado con left 4 dead 2 y resident evil 5 y la ati es mucho mejor que la nvidia

Guyz,i have intel corei3 with hd 2000 graphics the cod black ops game will run smoother in res:1024*768 and ram is 2gb ddr3 guyz how abt bf3 can run in my hd2000 pls guyz rply me
Hai christian the geforcegt210 is very...... Poor performance card i will use this card before i buy thz cpu
g210 is run gta 4, mw3,black ops. Bf3...also but the condition is keep the resolution and texture settings in low you will get smoother performance you will change the card for gts250 that is a amazing game performer...
Hi guyz the g210 is a fucking gamercard this card is usefor proffessional defeneitly it is not a gamer card like 8400gs,7300se.gt210,7600gs also
GT210 is NOT for gaming it is for Motherboards which don't have builtin graphics card. A card for gaming is a HD7770 or higher or older generations like Hd6770/Hd5770 and higher.
Please do not buy this as it is a waste of money if you have already got a builtin graphics on your CPU.
mejor la ati XD
I have an intel core i3 running at 3.3 Mhz with Intel HD 2500 Graphics. Is the same perfromance that Radeon HD 5450. If you have a processor like this or better, don´t waste yor money in graphic cards like these (Radeon 5450 or Geforce Gt 210). Go for Radeon HD 7770 or similar.
@Victor u mean 3.3 Ghz not Mhz
well i have a gtx 660 OC
i upgraded from gts 250 for Crysis 3
Brothers,Nvidia works good with Intel,becoz both are profesional in their field, on Gt210 you can play GTA 4 at medium with dual core CPU 2.70 ghz,so as comparede to HD 5450 it is more heating and sucking card. I had already tried those cards in my PC.
Yo he probado las 2, y con la 5450 puedo jugar tranquilamente, y en la GT210, en menos de un minuto ya está sobrecalentada, y se apaga....
i am playing ASSASINS CREED BLACK FLAG ON HD 5450! THE RESULT IS GOOD AND FLAWLESS
Hello i have nvidia geforce 210 1gb and its run assassins creed 4 blackflag on high settings with 8-10 fps
John 's opinian is very very false,
Gforce 210 cant play in ultra low settings the assasins creed 4 black flag.very laging and stucks.
Because the HD Radeon 5450 better than nvida gf 210
Gf 210 a waste card..!
actually gt210 can run black flag at lowest resolution
5450 is better for that 19 watt tdp
but 210 can run tombraider far cry 3 in high resolution low settings I Hav used it
only problem is it is only dx10
it was great for me time to move on
if u r buying for 1st time at least gtx630 is needed
or go for gtx 750ti for mid range
i went with hd 5450 and discovered my mobo is picky about graphic cards.
Hey guyz the HD 5450 can run AC Black Flag.I think itz better then GT 210
Hello everyone,currently my pc specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16 GhZ
3GB RAM
and of course geforce 210.Right now i run league of legends at ~30 fps and in big fights the fps drop to ~15.I'm thinking of buying HD5450 but is it worth?Currently i'm looking a card that can give me at least 50 FPS.I think the rest of my specs are enough to run league of legends.Please help me because i don't really know much about graphic cards.
Why are you gaming with a 5450, anyway?
Do you enjoy putting your hand in a blender? What is this madness?
Anon, if you haven't enough money to expend, you with what you have. I have a primary PC with a Cire i5 4670 plus GeForce 560 Ti 1 GB. GDDR5 and a secondary PC with a Core2Quad Q6600 plus AMD Radeon HD 5450 because I haven't enough budget to expend in another PC, needed in my house for use in gaming also with my wife. I can guarantee that 5450 give me enough power to play Super Street Fighter 4 AE in 720p at 40~50 FPS and medium quality and that made me very happy. Not to mention many other new games that can run in a pretty average speed in that hardware. All that with a very low cost. That's awesome. 😉
gt 210 is actually a ton better than the 5450 mainly because most models of the 5450 dont have a fan, so you room will get toasty toasty, also if you have bad cooling in your case, that little fan on the gt 210 is a god send
geforce 210 = waste of money
fucking graphics card never buy it
The real question here is would a potato be a better option than these two cards.
I think you all know the answer...
amd hd 5450 is betterrrrrrrr wOow
