you need to chill.

calm down man, dont be too serious, outside review are paid to do review, so they will do everything to optimise, where u found that benchmark on notebookcheck there, i comfirm 100% not accurate, GTX580M score at 13k? my 6970 score a the same range. 6990 also the same, i rather save those 600USD or 300USD for just a small small different....... but still nvdia always have the best driver(no throttle issue, no shuttering) where my 6970/ greassemonkey 6970Xfire also having this issue. and im not saying nvidia is better as well, they offer overprice GC just to clock up some on the older version and come out new version. i own all the series of Alienware, and i have most of the specs, u can ask here people. just dont waste money on some of the minor different from what u said. i rather go for 6970..... save 300++ for other stuff or SSD upgrade, no matter how strong is ur PC, without SSD also cannot.

If i did offense u, im so sorry. Maybe im not well in doing home work, i know how to save money only

Nicely said by putochip.

i take offense when someone throws out random posts about "don't do this, don't do that" while not backing up their claims. But anyhow, I believe we both agree that the 6970m is the best card for price performance at the moment. Also if you read correctly, the 6990 or 580 are not a 300USD and 600USD upgrade from 6970 (that's from 6870), so effectively it is a 50USD and a 350USD upgrade. Obviously 50USD for another 10% increased performance won't be everyone's cup of tea (it's MYR300), but for people that are buying the m17x r3 new, the 6990m would be a better investment in the long run.

I sense fanboyism here~ People have the freedom of speech to speak out their opinions~

hahaha...

i own them all type of card...

wanna test??? 460, 580, 6870, 6970 n 6990 too
