    You can tune down the voltage and clocks to the same levels as the 680M with the 780M and it would be better performing per watt due to the fully enabled core.

    You do not tune down your GPU.. You always overclock it! That is the eternal rule ;)

    You just need to find that one unique buyer! It could take some time though.
