    Assuming PC means desktop, no.

    As Lithus said, no.

    In general, the laptop version of any video card uses the same basic GPU core feature set as the desktop version, but it's usually clocked at a slower speed, sometimes with less shaders/pipelines as well.

    They are also usually equipped with slower and/or less dedicated video RAM.
