How Do I Tell How Good A GTX Card Is?
GT - Budget, sometimes cut down from GTX cards.
GTX - Fully featured(for the most part), and performance oriented.
GT(X) "M" - Mobile, used in laptops, but not the same as their desktop counterparts(cut down, slower, lower power, lower heat).
GTX "ABC" - A is the generation. The larger the number he newer the card, essentially. There are some cards that are "rebadges" so they won't have the newest architecture, but for the most part it will be "new" as its a part of that "family".
B is the class of card. The higher the number the higher end of card. Generally you get more cores with higher cards, but you might see higher Mhz as well. This decideds the performance out of that cards generation.
C generally doesn't mean anything, since its usually a 0. In the past there have been "5" cards(GTX 675M for example), and generally it means that there is something different with this card from the rest of the line up(sometimes good, sometimes bad, it varies).
Between generations there are improvements made, so a GTX 660 and 960 will be different performance wise(and the 960 will have other improvements as well).
