Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 870M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 has clock speeds of 1354 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare that to the GeForce GTX 870M, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 941 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this specific model. It features 1344 SPUs as well as 112 TAUs and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the GeForce GTX 1050 should perform a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 870M in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 870M is quite a bit (approximately 95%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 is a lot (more or less 92%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GTX 870M, and also should be capable of handling 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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, 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 the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
