Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 980 vs Geforce GTX 680
IntroThe GeForce GTX 980 comes with a clock speed of 1126 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Geforce GTX 680, which has GPU clock speed of 1006 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1502 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 1536 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 980 should theoretically be just a bit faster than the Geforce GTX 680 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 980 should be a bit (more or less 12%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Geforce GTX 680. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 980 is quite a bit (more or less 124%) faster with regards to AA than the Geforce GTX 680, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total 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 handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
