Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 810M		15 Watts
GeForce GTX 950		90 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (500%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 950 should be 634% quicker than the GeForce 810M in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 950		105728 MB/sec
GeForce 810M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 91328 (634%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 950 is a lot (approximately 733%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 950		49152 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M		5904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 43248 (733%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 950 is quite a bit (approximately 1010%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce 810M, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 950		32768 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M		2952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 29816 (1010%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. 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 quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
