Most modern graphic cards usually have 3 numbers, for example those 2:
GTX 680 and GT 740m
Here, the first number means it's "generation", when the card came out. The second one means it's "tier", how good the card is. The third one usually has no meaning, or it's just an special edition/custom version/etc.

Although the 740 is one generation newer, it's several tiers below, and therefore isn't nearly as good as the 680.
The 680 would be comparable to a 770 (these 2 are bascically the same card).

And, also, the 740m is a laptop card (the "m" means "mobile"), and is therefore a lot slower that it's desktop counterpart (if there were a 740).

Sorry, but what heavy software do you need to use?
Maybe we could recommend an even better card, or tell you the best option within your budget...
