Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 860M vs GeForce GTX 880M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 860M makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 797 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this specific model. It features 1152 SPUs as well as 96 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 880M, which features a core clock frequency of 954 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 1536 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX 880M should in theory be quite a bit better than the GeForce GTX 860M overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 880M will be quite a bit (more or less 60%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 860M. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 880M 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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling 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 card could possibly record 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 card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
