Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 460 SE vs GeForce GTX 880M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 460 SE features a GPU core clock speed of 650 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 850 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 288 SPUs, 48 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 880M, which has a core clock speed of 954 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1536 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 880M should in theory be a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 460 SE in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 880M should be a lot (more or less 291%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 460 SE. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 880M should be a lot (about 47%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 460 SE, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
