^ lol wth is wrong with Nvidia.

Funny business

Seems like this going to be a bad year for them.

After the release of the AMD HD7xxxM series, they'll need to do something and fast. Perhaps they got too cocky and thought that AMD can't best them.

Nah.. they can easily surprise AMD with GTX680M or even GTX685M.

The question is can Nvidia provide something as powerful with similar power consumptions?

That's the beauty of the AMD 7870.



Well, maybe they can.

Current Kepler GTX 680 does consume less power than the previous generation.

^ not sure about that.. but indeed 7870 is the best bang for the bucks at the moment.

its live people.

If I'm not mistaken, that scores came from a custom driver.

Not sure whether it will be much higher if it is with official driver.

Whatever it is, gotta love the the new 28nm GPU(Both AMD and NVIDIA)!

Yup.. it's a leaked April 18 v8.970 driver modded by Benchmark3D to use HD7970 settings.

Wow, anyone know which laptop will be equipped with the imba HD7970?
And how much would it roughly cost?

^ GT640M vs GT555M.. no significant different.

Probably due to the CPU.

The GT640M is using the ULV i7 2637M 1.7GHz (2 cores)

While the GT555M is using the i7 2630QM 2GHz (4 cores)

Need to wait for more review of the GT640M using different CPU, then we will see the difference. I think.

ah.. i see.

oh wait.. the hell is this? http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD...0M.73855.0.html

desktop test system?

Yeah, seen that quite often.

Like I explain before this, a 7770M might scores around GT650M.

Here is the 7970M on desktop test system.

Usually the scores are correct.
Just not so much benchmark.

So how many power adapter does it need to run ? one or two ?

Not sure, but looking at the reseller websites, it still require one 180W AC adapter.

Is there a difference between the GT 640M and the GT 640M LE in the Lenovo Y480?

GT640M LE in Y480 is Fermi based.. it has 96 shader processors [Fermi's], 128bit GDDR5 memory. The performance is similar to the crippled GT555M in Y570.

The one in Lenovo Y480 is the Fermi one, not kepler.
