GeForce GT 130 vs GeForce GTX 950M

Intro

The GeForce GT 130 has core speeds of 500 MHz on the GPU, and 250 MHz on the 768 MB of DDR2 RAM. It features 48 SPUs as well as 24 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 950M, which has clock speeds of 914 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 950M 55 Watts
GeForce GT 130 75 Watts
Difference: 20 Watts (36%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 950M should be 167% faster than the GeForce GT 130 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 950M 32000 MB/sec
GeForce GT 130 12000 MB/sec
Difference: 20000 (167%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 950M should be much (approximately 205%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)

GeForce GTX 950M 36560 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 130 12000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 24560 (205%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 950M will be quite a bit (more or less 83%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 130, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 950M 14624 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 130 8000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 6624 (83%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number 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 this number, the better the 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 most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
