    My guess is that's not what OP wanted to hear.

    I do see that it's a good idea to start a thread to collect information like reviews, because google will catch it and next time someone googles 680m, maybe someone will find this thread!

    Unfortunately the site did not test 7970m so we could compare both with the same testing methodology

    No unfortunately I do not own the 680M yet. I found the scores like Skittles say.

    "hackness" one of our forum members have recieved the GTX 680M and is doing his comparisons between 675M and 680M right now

    This is going to be interesting :D

    Notebookcheckcheck review could be faulty. Atleast some parts of it
    They found out:

    Our notebookreview user "hackness" have been trying his GTX 680M out for a while today. He tested Battlefield 3:

    I should have my NP9150EM tomorrow with GTX 680m. :D Will post benchmarks and overall performance comments. Just I have to do the whole Windows install dance before I can do anything.

    Can I ask why you opted for the 3610QM and not the 3720/3820/3920 ?

    It has the best price/performance ratio for gaming. The extra CPU power is needed in more professional editing, but rarely consequential in games.

    i7-3610QM is all that's needed. There's no bottleneck there for any games, and not for any processor intensive tasks in general. Other than VT-d added for i7-3x20m CPU's there's nothing that the other CPU's can offer. You might save a little time if you do lots (and I mean several hours a day) of encoding, compiling, compression, etc, due to the higher clock speeds. Otherwise there's no real benefit.
