GeForce GT 210 vs Radeon R5 M330

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R5 M330, which has clock speeds of 1030 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 320 SPUs as well as 20 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R5 M330 should perform a small bit faster than the GeForce GT 210 overall. (explain)

Radeon R5 M330		14400 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 1600 (13%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R5 M330 is much (more or less 337%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

Radeon R5 M330		20600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 15888 (337%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R5 M330 is superior to the GeForce GT 210, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon R5 M330		8240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 5884 (250%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number 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 fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
