    Here


    Seems that nvidia is really starting to push this 560 through, a lot of companies are putting it into the new laptops.

    Will it be that much better then the 460 ? Crysis seems to be running at 1080p pretty smooth a bit higher then 30fps ? I'm not sure if 460 can pull those numbers either but, what do you guys think ?

    Charts and specs are making me exited :D

    Is the 560m supposed to crush the 5870m ?

    Well it was already a little bit stupid IMO when they switched to 460m wich isn't as good as the 5870m. I know, there's the price and the fact that nvidia has better drivers... and the other stuff is upgraded, but still, makes me still love my 5870m.

    Yea, early 5870m buyers got a helluva deal, the 560 will probably end up being a little bit faster. I think

    AFAIR Asus wanted to go 3D Vision and an Nvidia card was necessary for that.

    CLock the 5870 to 800/1100 and you will definately win. :D
    Performancewise this 560 is just a GTX460 with 100MHz more core clock (200 shader).
    You can even take a calculator. :p

    Just as predicted. :)
    No progress since G73JH in the graphics department, that's sad.
    And the picture suggests still no Optimus for Asus G series.

    Indeed, considering G73JH has been on the market for how long? 15 months? :rolleyes:

    Only if Asus would at least implement Optimus.... seeing as how long it's been since they first announced it. No hope left :'(
