Thread becoming slow and boring now a days.
Might as well use it for other purpose, as long as it is a GPU discussion. 

Btw, talk about OC, been seeing users of GTX680M manage to do crazy overclock as well, reaching above 8k in 3DMark11!

That ancient M17x of yours is still quite powerful though.

So, you're still going with an SLI capable laptop? Or going for a single GPU since you're tired of carrying a heavy laptop?
Previously I carried my Sager NP8150-S1 every single day on weekdays for work, it does feels heavy, but still bearable.

Now already changed to a lightweight one, since I don't game much as before.
Definitely feel the difference. 

In that case, weight shouldn't be much of an issue I guess, since you only carry it couple of times in a year.
Actually I still have my NP8150, turning it into a home desktop instead of selling it. 
The laptop alone weight around 3.1kg, while the adapter I think is almost 1kg.
I don't think you will have any issue at all carrying it around in a backpack once a while in a year. Coz I've been doing that 4-5 times in a year on a business trip.
I'm also currently deciding whether to upgrade my 6970M to a 7970M or not next month, GTX680M haven't cross my mind, but who knows. 

As for the warranty, to be honest, it is quite bad due to the 3rd parties or reseller process.
The reseller will have to arrange the shipment. Thus they will usually go for the cheapest one, where it will take a very long process.
I have sent my laptop once because of the bad batch of the 6970M, so they replace the GPU(but still need to send the whole laptop just in case its not the GPU).
Actually once my laptop arrived at Sager, it took them about 1 day only to get the repair/replacement done.
In the end, the whole process took almost 1 month to repair my laptop, but that is because I decided to pay the reseller extra so that they can use better and faster shipment.
It will definitely be a longer process if I didn't pay the extra cost.

Conclusion is, it is up to which reseller you're going to purchase yours from.
I bought mine from Mucro Singapore.

yeah.. better performance with deus ex in dx11 mode.. mw3 not played yet.. but my wei score drop.. weird..

yeah, one of my cuda apps behaved strangely.. keeps crashing the driver..could be the optimus fault.. overall, better fps in games..
