    I don't know if i will have a chance to get an m18x together for crossfire scores as I am leaving tomorrow. But I will see what I can do, I am also wanting to see if the 3820's work in them.

    Damnit, now I can't sell my 580Ms for as much as I wanted to because this makes them look even more worthless :(

    Anywho, those scores are higher than I expected. Does the 7970M has the same Crossfire connector as the 6970M/6990M?

    Table21 - please post the URL for the benchmark results... tried to zoom in to read it and it brought up something else. Also, GPU-Z and CPU-Z with the actual benchmark in screen shots would be nice. example

    If I get the situation correctly, the guy is from eurocom and the card is a ES 7970M. And that's the only time when I'm glad to see them, lol. Not that I'm gonna ever buy something from them but for the sake of early numbers, c'mon guys, more benches! :cool:

    That's sooo much for a single GPU, 2x7970M with no overclock could easily surpass (or be on par) OC'ed desktop GTX680 (for the same 500$). Add 20% oc boost and no more desktop PC needed))

    Show us some muscles Table21, we shout! Bring it to 1Ghz on the core, please)

    P. S. The NDA is lifted on 24th, could be the reason, of course... waiting game starts

    How much did it cost you compared to gtx 675 ? I'm hearing its cheaper by 100 maybe 150. That would make it the same price as gtx 670! Crazy if these rumors are true.

    I just got a quote for $450 shipped on the card, so assuming I can grab this M15x for $450, I'm looking at a pretty good machine for a semi portable pc.

    Sorry fellas, let me make sure it's legit first. I should know 100% at some point in time tomorrow. I've been waiting for a response for the past few hours, but its after business hours, so I'm assuming I should hear something tomorrow or Monday. The last correspondence was wanting to know whether I wanted the Clevo version or Alienware.

    Man that's the same price as a 6990m , but 30 to 50 percent more beast . It needs to be Tuesday so I can order my p 150em with ivy bridge 3610 and 7990m. Goodbye to all of my money haha . hopefully it consumes the same power as a gtx 670 , I want a 5 hour battery life with optimus, or w. E. It is, with a 240GB SSD to save some power compared to a hdd ha. With 0 brightness and no internet of course, just for note taking in class
