Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 950 vs GeForce GTX 980M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 950 features a clock speed of 1024 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1652 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 768 SPUs, 48 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 980M, which comes with a clock frequency of 1038 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1536 SPUs, 96 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 980M will be 21% faster than the GeForce GTX 950 in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 980M will be quite a bit (more or less 103%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 950. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 980M should be quite a bit (about 103%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 950, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called 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 ability to reach the max fill rate.
