Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs GeForce GTX 970M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB features a core clock speed of 928 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1350 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 768 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 970M, which uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 924 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1000 MHz on this specific model. It features 1280 SPUs along with 80 Texture Address Units and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 970M should be 11% faster than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 970M is a lot (about 24%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 970M is a better choice, by far. (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 max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, 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 applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
