Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 810M vs Radeon HD 6990
IntroThe GeForce 810M features core clock speeds of 738 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of DDR3 memory. It features 48 SPUs as well as 8 TAUs and 4 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 6990, which makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 830 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1250 MHz on this card. It features 1536 SPUs as well as 96 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon HD 6990, in theory, should be much faster than the GeForce 810M in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6990 is a lot (more or less 2599%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6990 is a lot (more or less 1699%) better at AA than the GeForce 810M, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (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. One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
