GeForce GT 210 vs GeForce RTX 2060

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 2060, which features clock speeds of 1365 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 1920 SPUs as well as 120 Texture Address Units and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 159088 (3376%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 should be quite a bit (about 2681%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GT 210, and also able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 63164 (2681%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
