The 540M is a bit slower than the desktop GT430, while the 6570M is about the same as a desktop 5570, based on the specs.

Check this review for a comparison.
There are two types of 6570 and 5570, DDR3 and GDDR5, that Anandtech review shows the slower of the two (DDR3), so that's a worst case scenario. If the card you are looking at is GDDR5 it will be faster, but it's more likely ot be the DDR3 version.
