Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 810M vs GeForce GTX 460 1GB
IntroThe GeForce 810M makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 738 MHz. The DDR3 memory is set to run at a speed of 900 MHz on this specific model. It features 48 SPUs as well as 8 TAUs and 4 ROPs.Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 460 1GB, which has a core clock frequency of 675 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is made up of 336 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 460 1GB should be 700% faster than the GeForce 810M overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 460 1GB is a lot (approximately 540%) better at AF than the GeForce 810M. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 460 1GB is the winner, and very much so. (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 largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range 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 calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling 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 can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number 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 ability to reach the max fill rate.
