What do you think about the GPU of Asus G74SX?

As we know the G74 will with i7-2630QM and with GTX 560M!! and 3D....

Do you think that GTX 560 better then HD 69XX/68XX??


Here the video of it:

I was happy to see the G74SX video.
The GTX560 should be a nice upgrade from the G73 series
but I had already some reserve when I read 1GB of video RAM Instead of 1.5 for G73, then I'm slowing down my enthousiam when I red the following:
Nvidia Geforce GTX 560M sighted - Notebookcheck.net News

Well, the laptop looks great, let's see when it is available what it can do (let's hope to have at least the same performance as the G73 models with longer battery life)

 

The 560 and 68XX are not worth the upgrade from the current generation. I don't see much incentive for me to trade out my G73 and only get +10% performance or less. I'll easily be able to wait for 2012 hardware before I am even tempted to upgrade.

 

It looks pretty much like a G73 to be frank. I'll stick with mine... the new hardware isn't worth it at all and what is Asus thinking.They should stick some ATI card in there.

 

460GTX:

192 CUDA 192 bit 1.5gb memory. 12500 3Dmark 06.

560GTX:

192 CUDA 128 bit 1gb memory. 13900 3Dmark 06

The only difference apart from them lowering the memory width and the amount of memory are the clocks! Seems to me to be an overclocked 460GTX so surely that will increase the temps which is one of the best things about the 460? Not to mention the $500 extra price for an extra 1000 points.

I think ill stick with my HD 5870m as the recession seems to be affecting AMD and Nvidia just look at the HD 6870m its an underclocked 5870 lol.

 

lol music and notebook are fine together..... both are ugly ^^

 

What kind of question is that? 6870m is equal to a 460m, 560m 10% faster and is equal to a previous generation 5870m. Pathetic.
The 6970m on the other hand is vastly superior. Together with the 485m it's one of the two fastest GPUs available.

 

I kept my Dell Inspiron 9300 with GeForce 7800 GTX for about 5 years and I pretty much plan to do the same with the G73.

I doubt that the mobile 560 is that much faster anyway because the GPU companies are pretty much tapped out on how fast they can go with 40nm mobile GPUs. Expect a nice big jump in about a year when 28nm is ready to rumble. I'd guess that equivalents of the desktop GTX 580 and Radeon 6970 should come to notebooks at that point.

 

I don't think it's impressive at all.

G73 is a better bang for buck imo

 

Total disappointment about the g74sx. The 560m is not better than the current 5870m in addition the laptop's chassis is a brick, way different form the original stealth concept. Asus should keep the g73 and name this new unit as g73jwa 'coz It's not an evolution baby!!!!!

 

I will be skipping this. If I want a performance upgrade, I'll spend 400 bucks, get me a 920xm, and upgrade to 12 gigs of ram. Outside of that, I don't see a huge reason to jump.

 

Agreed. The G53/73 design is one of THE best laptop designs of all time imo.

 

Agreed what is the point is getting a sandy bridge if the gpu bottlenecks it! If you pair a I7 Extreme and clock it right with the 5870 I have seen 3DMark 06 results of upto 18/19k points. Owns.

 

Thats what im planing. Not the ram but a CPU upgrade will be a good thing.

Asus might be using a motorola tactic. Give out new notebooks so ppl would buy and not too good ones so that ppl will have to swap in 2 or more year.

Thats why i think they did not but 2x 5870 in the G73 + use their own GPUs and not standard

 

Actually, the w90 was such a flop (well, for ASUS internally) that they've sworn off double GPU laptops. Too bad they abandoned support for it, it was a nice laptop ...
