GeForce GT 210 vs Radeon HD 6770

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 6770, which uses a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 900 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1050 MHz on this specific model. It features 800 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GT 210		31 Watts
Radeon HD 6770		108 Watts
	Difference: 77 Watts (248%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon HD 6770 should theoretically perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 210 in general. (explain)

Radeon HD 6770		67200 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 54400 (425%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 6770 is much (approximately 664%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

Radeon HD 6770		36000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 31288 (664%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon HD 6770 should be quite a bit (more or less 511%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GT 210, and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon HD 6770		14400 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12044 (511%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
