    Well, I got MSI and it's running cool. 38C. 55 on gaming. But OMG 60 on idle? I desperately want to buy a new laptop and 260M GTS video card sounds much better then MSI's 130M, but omg the temps. I'm also worried about the battery and well, the size...

    So, does it worth it?

    Are you referring to the GTX 260M in the Asus G51?

    The G51VX-RX05 has great performance to price ratio.

    The temps, although high, should be nothing to become overly worried about.

    I'd stick to your MSI GT627 though since the upgrade from a 9800M GS to a GTX 260M is not enough to justify the price.
