Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1630 vs GeForce GTX 870M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1630 features core clock speeds of 1740 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 512 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 870M, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 941 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1000 MHz on this particular model. It features 1344 SPUs as well as 112 Texture Address Units and 24 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 1630 will be 2% faster than the GeForce GTX 870M overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 870M will be a lot (approximately 89%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is a better choice, by a large margin. (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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
