Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 980M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 uses a 14 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1354 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 980M, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1038 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1000 MHz on this specific card. It features 1536 SPUs as well as 96 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 980M should theoretically be just a bit better than the GeForce GTX 1050 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 980M will be much (approximately 84%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 980M is a better choice, by far. (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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's 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 is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
