Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 830M vs Radeon HD 4350
IntroThe GeForce 830M has core speeds of 1029 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 memory. It features 256 SPUs as well as 16 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 4350, which features GPU core speed of 575 MHz, and 512 MB of DDR2 RAM set to run at 500 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is made up of 80(16x5) SPUs, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce 830M will be 80% quicker than the Radeon HD 4350 overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 830M is quite a bit (more or less 258%) more effective at AF than the Radeon HD 4350. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce 830M is a better choice, by a large margin. (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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
