Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 750 vs GeForce GTX 870M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 750 comes with core speeds of 1020 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 512 SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 870M, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 941 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1000 MHz on this specific card. It features 1344 SPUs along with 112 Texture Address Units and 24 ROPs.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the GeForce GTX 870M should perform just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 750 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 870M is a lot (more or less 223%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 750. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 870M should be quite a bit (about 38%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 750, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. 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 is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
