Latest stable driver on Oct 22 has address lots of issue. Newer beta driver are available.
7970M is about GTX675MX price level. Personally I think 7970M has more upside from driver improvement.
If you have the money, go for GTX680M, still the single mobile GPU king (well until you see GTX680MX) But you pay through the nose for it.

How about dual GTX670MX vs Xfire 7970M? I was planning to take illgear's RX17 cuz I wanted to play Crysis 3 next year with Max settings. Or if you have any suggestions, I am all ears.

Crysis 3 is using the same CryEngine 3 as in Crysis 2.
Single GTX680M or 7970M can play Crysis 2 at FHD high setting.
xfire 7970M can handle Crysis 2 at max handily, can't see why it can't handle Crysis 3.

Due to the reason that i heard from others about the 7970M problems, is it ok if you tell me that whether does the problem still exist?? And are there any difference between having Enduro and without Enduro?? Thanks a bunch!

HD7690M successor, HD8790M first public benchmark using a desktop hardware. It seem to fare around GT640M/GT650M level.

Why don't you check with the "others" and see if they still have the "problems" after the latest drivers?
Yes, having Enduro impact performance slightly (~ 5% from what I read), similarly faced by Nvidia with Optimus.

Alright. Thanks! Um... about the power consumption, 7970M drains more than GTX680M, right? o.O

Both rated at 100w.

I would highly recommend you to stay away from the 7970m for the time being, if you insist on getting one, get an alienware or a machine that natively uses the 7970m, with no switch-able gpus.

After more extensive research in notebookreview's forum, the problem with 7970m is definitely there for laptops that have switchable gpus(excluding alienwares due to the fact that you can disable them in the bios)

I have gone with ordering the 680m mxm to replace my 670m. Its a pity for my case since the 7970m really seemed to be worth it at first sight.

Erm Guys.. May I post my stuff there..
(Sorry and Paiseh... its old model 1st Asus A43Sv-VX203)
CPU-Z
REFER my siggy
GPu-z Next Saturday will uploaded..
3Dmark-Same as GPU-Z

so Far its better and I used 1 yr
edi and no' buggy' on gaming...
And my GF GT 540m (Forceware ver 306.04 WHQL) n done well and tested dota 2, Need For speed:Shift,Hot Pursuit and (latest)most wanted ...

Read this sneak peek into the performance of IGPU in Haswell.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6600/intel-h...geforce-gt-650m
We know Intel IGPU always scale with CPU (e.g. for ivy bridge, HD4000 of i7 run faster than i3).
But man, Haswell GT3 IGPU "in mobile reference board" run Dirt3 close to GT650M "subjectively" in 1080p? I am a bit skeptical
But for perspective, to run Dirt3 in 1080p, we need GT630M at least.
This could get very interesting for those "high end ultrabook" that can't run game now

Impressive!

walau.... no lagg meh?

anyways... impressive

walau.... no lagg meh?

anyways... impressive

here is my benchmark..

others need another day so guys did u think my 3DMark05 good?


Attached thumbnail(s)

05 is obselete mang.. even 06 consider old. Use Vantage or 11 instead.

but anyway how to get Vantage w free.?? is this a stupiak question , mang?

All of them are free but you will be limited to Performance preset benchmark only.

Mang = man.
