Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 850M vs GeForce GTX 880M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 850M makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 876 MHz. The DDR3 RAM works at a speed of 1000 MHz on this specific card. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 880M, which comes with a core clock frequency of 954 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1536 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 880M should in theory be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 850M in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 880M is quite a bit (about 248%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 850M. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 880M will be a lot (more or less 118%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GTX 850M, and will be able to handle 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. Price Comparison

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
