Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 980 vs GeForce GTX 980M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 980 comes with a GPU clock speed of 1126 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 980M, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1038 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this particular model. It features 1536 SPUs as well as 96 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 980 should in theory be a lot better than the GeForce GTX 980M in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 980 is quite a bit (approximately 45%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 980M. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 980 should be a little bit (about 8%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GTX 980M, and also capable of handling 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 largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core 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 applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
