Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti will be 791% faster than the GeForce 920M overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
GeForce 920M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 113856 (791%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 72%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 920M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 920M		30528 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 22080 (72%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is a lot (about 245%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 920M, and will be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 920M		7632 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 18672 (245%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better 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 in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 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.
