GeForce GTX 680 vs GeForce GTX 880M specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 680 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 880M in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 680 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 680 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 880M has a significantly lower TDP at 122 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 680 at 195 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 680 is better than the GeForce GTX 880M.
