Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 285 1GB vs GeForce GTX 880M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 285 1GB uses a 55 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 648 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM runs at a speed of 1242 MHz on this particular card. It features 240 SPUs along with 80 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare that to the GeForce GTX 880M, which has a core clock speed of 954 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1536 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 285 1GB should theoretically be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 880M in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 880M is much (about 136%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 285 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 880M is superior to the GeForce GTX 285 1GB, and very much so. (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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
