Compare any two graphics cards:
VS

GeForce 810M vs GeForce 830M

Intro

The GeForce 810M comes with clock speeds of 738 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of DDR3 memory. It features 48 SPUs along with 8 Texture Address Units and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specifications to the GeForce 830M, which features GPU clock speed of 1029 MHz, and 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM running at 900 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is made up of 256 SPUs, 16 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 810M 15 Watts
GeForce 830M 25 Watts
Difference: 10 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so in theory they should have identical performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 830M will be much (approximately 179%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

GeForce 830M 16464 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M 5904 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 10560 (179%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce 830M will be much (approximately 179%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce 810M, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce 830M 8232 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M 2952 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 5280 (179%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out 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 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 its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
