Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs GeForce GTX 980M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 features a clock speed of 732 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also features a 320-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It features 448 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 40 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 980M, which has core clock speeds of 1038 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1536 SPUs as well as 96 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448, in theory, should perform a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 980M in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 980M will be a lot (approximately 143%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 980M is the winner, by a large margin. (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 max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of 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 rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
