Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTS 450 vs GeForce GTX 965M
IntroThe GeForce GTS 450 comes with a GPU core clock speed of 783 MHz, and the 512 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 902 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 192 Stream Processors, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 965M, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 944 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this model. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 965M should theoretically be a bit superior to the GeForce GTS 450 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 965M will be quite a bit (more or less 141%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTS 450. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 965M is superior to the GeForce GTS 450, by a large margin. (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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core 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 maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
