Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 970M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 features core clock speeds of 1354 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 970M, which features a clock speed of 924 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also features a 192-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 1280 SPUs, 80 Texture Address Units, and 48 ROPs.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 1050 should theoretically perform a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 970M in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 970M will be a lot (approximately 36%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 970M should be just a bit (about 2%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1050, and able to handle higher screen 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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core 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 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 maximum fill rate.
