Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs GeForce GTX 980M
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 has a GPU clock speed of 732 MHz, and the 1280 MB of GDDR5 memory runs at 900 MHz through a 320-bit bus. It also is comprised of 448 Stream Processors, 56 Texture Address Units, and 40 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 980M, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1038 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1000 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1536 SPUs, 96 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 should theoretically be a little bit superior to the GeForce GTX 980M in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 980M should be quite a bit (more or less 143%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 980M is a better choice, by far. (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 largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. 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 quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
