Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs GeForce GTX 850M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti has a clock speed of 822 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1002 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It features 384 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 850M, which comes with core speeds of 876 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti will be 301% quicker than the GeForce GTX 850M overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti will be quite a bit (about 50%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 850M. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti is quite a bit (more or less 88%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 850M, and also able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate 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 drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
