    Okay, again, sorry for bugging you guys about this but I'm in a bit of a pickle.

    I've got the 6970M at the moment and it's fast, but I'm kinda confused at what I should go for now that the new GTX 700M series is out.

    Should I get the 7970M for this machine or go for the GTX 770M?

    Haven't seen any success stories with the 700 series of nVidia. The 7970m would be a pretty good upgrade if you are able to make it work on the R2.

    7970m or 680m (at a good price)
    Forget the 770m
