    I know the 5730 has just been released but.....I am wondering if anyone may know if the 5750s or 5770s may be in laptops soon. I am debating if I want to purchase the Asus N61Jq-A1 which has a 5730 in it....or should I wait a little bit and see what a laptop with a 5750 or 5770 may bring the cost up 2. What you guys think ?

    5750 has been featured in ATI diver inf file a while ago but has been replaced by 5650 since. No news on either one although 5750 would be great- GDDR5 and presumably easy to overclock (or reverse underclock for that matter).
    5650 in Acer 5740 has been confirmed to go up from 550MHz to 650MHz easily (making it 5730) the same should apply to 5750.
    Still I have some doubts about 5750/5770 ever showing up in laptops- GDDR5 seems to be to pricey for 15/16" laptops. I'd be glad to be wrong though.

    Not really. Desktop 5750 is 720 SPU card while all mobile 58xx are 800 SPU.
    But close enough as its more like all are 5770.

    Ok thanks for clarification. But the clocks in the mobility 5750 are so low its 800 SPUs are slower than the 5750's 720 :rolleyes:

    The core clocks on the 5870m are the same as the desktop 5750s (700Mhz),it's only the RAM that is slower, so except in bandwidth limited cases, the 5870m should be faster than a desktop 5750.

    They released a BIOS flash to fix that though, that was never intentional, and the hardware was available again on the cards with a BIOS flash, the 5750s even if flashed with said BIOS were hardware locked at 720.
