GeForce GTX 780 vs GeForce GTX 880M specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 780 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 880M in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 880M has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce GTX 880M also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 880M has a significantly lower TDP at 122 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 780 at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 780 over the GeForce GTX 880M.
