Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 950M vs GeForce GTX 980 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GTX 950M features a GPU clock speed of 914 MHz, and the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM runs at 1000 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 640 Stream Processors, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, which comes with clock speeds of 1000 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2816 SPUs along with 176 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 950M overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 980 Ti is quite a bit (approximately 381%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 950M. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 980 Ti is quite a bit (approximately 556%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 950M, and also able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (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 past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
