    Maybe I simply overlook one of the numerous posts here and there about 580m but can anyone answer my question?

    Thanks a lot;
    With My Regards

    Do you believe that two desktop 560TIs or two 580Ms are more than likely with an i5 or i7 processor (8GB Ram 1333) allow upcoming games..specifically Skyrim and Star Wars the Old Republic Online...to be run at max at 1920x1080 settings...or at least on a desktop its worth going higher in SLI or crossfire?

    It is definitely slower than a desktop GTX 560TI, could possibly be overclocked to GTX 560 TI specs at least.

    A 33% OC AT LEAST on a 100W notebook card?

    Keep dreaming.

    like everyone said its a slower clocked version of the desktop 560 ti.

    speedwise its like a gtx 460 maybe even slightly slower

    It is the exact same architecture as the 560TI, just heavily underclocked. Same shaders, ROPS, etc.

    A single gtx 580m should easily max out SWTOR with no problems.
    Skyrim? I would think so as well, but that one might be a bit tougher

    Nah I agree, no chance this will overclock to GTX 560 TI speeds.
