GeForce 810M		15 Watts
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		75 Watts
	Difference: 60 Watts (400%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB should in theory be quite a bit better than the GeForce 810M overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		86016 MB/sec
GeForce 810M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 71616 (497%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 3GB will be much (approximately 1032%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		66816 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M		5904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 60912 (1032%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		33408 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M		2952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30456 (1032%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
