    Will a GTX 460m and a Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM out preform a 5870m and core i7 720qm noticeably during gaming?

    I dont know how you can claim that the 128bit 460M can beat a 5870M that is laughable.

    The 5870M has been proved on many occasions to be on par or slightly beat the 192bit 460M and you are talking about the 128bit version the 5870M and 720QM will destroy it like a boy with a rock and a sling shot against a one eyed monster.

    Stick with your M17X R2 do not consider the gimped 460M as you have a 5870M. The CPU will only make the slightest difference to gaming results. If that between the two you are comparing.
