Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 480 vs GeForce GTX 850M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 480 features a GPU clock speed of 700 MHz, and the 1536 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 924 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also features 480 Stream Processors, 60 Texture Address Units, and 48 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 850M, which comes with a core clock frequency of 876 MHz and a DDR3 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also features a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 480 is 454% faster than the GeForce GTX 850M in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 480 is a bit (more or less 20%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 850M. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 480 will be a lot (about 140%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 850M, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high 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 of the card 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 processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
