Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1630 vs GeForce GTX 970M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1630 has a GPU clock speed of 1740 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory runs at 1500 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is made up of 512 Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 970M, which features core clock speeds of 924 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 3072 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1280 SPUs as well as 80 Texture Address Units and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 1630 should in theory be just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 970M in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 970M is a lot (approximately 33%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 970M is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)
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

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number 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 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 that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
