    HI，everyone.I just recieved my new sager np9390.When i buy it,i chose dual 765m due to my budget.Now i want to upgrade my laptop.One of my choice is dual GTX770m, but after i saw some performance test of that.I changed my mind! I'm in china.The price of GTX770m is equal to the price of Hd7970m,sometimes,even cheaper than gtx770m.So i think that hd7970m is my best choice! Lower price and higher performance.Now the only thing i need to konw is that the compatibility of hd7970m working on new sager p370sm or p375sm.Does anybody try it before? Some body may ask why don't you chooce hd8970m.Well chinese resaler have no hd8970 until now.Thanks for answering!

    Go with Nvidia for multi-GPU. CrossFire still has some serious issues that need to be sorted out. Until AMD fixes them, you'll be getting no performance benefit from adding a second GPU. If anything, it will be worse than single GPU. Google "Frame Rating."

    Not a good idea to create multiple of the same threads in different forums

    So you mean GTX770m is a better choice?I saw some performance test, It should overclocking then it will equal to default clock's Hd7970m.In china Gtx770m even expensive than hd7970m......Driver is definately better than before, isn't it? 13.4 enduro is very stable. So i don't worry about it.I want to know the compatibility. Thanks for answering!

    If you just received your laptop, why don't you use the two 765ms for a while? You could upgrade next year. Also, two 770ms may have similar performance to one 780m which is probably going to be cheaper.

    Doesn't matter. Be patient.
