Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 950M vs Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 950M makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 914 MHz. The DDR3 RAM works at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this card. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) 1GB, which comes with clock speeds of 750 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 160 SPUs as well as 8 TAUs and 4 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 950M should in theory be a little bit faster than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 950M is a lot (more or less 509%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 950M is the winner, 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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If 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 higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the 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 - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output 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 ability to reach the max fill rate.
