    But as usual there is such a huge disparity in performance from game to game, so I guess it's best to take in game by game basis. I'd question Bioshock and Tomb Raider as well. Bioshock it may have just been an issue of input same data twice by accident. Bioshock it may have been as simple as forgetting to turn on 4xAA.

    But I think the title of this thread is misleading because nVidia didn't announce it a third party did.

    HAHA, HTWingNut.

    You see that using brains and old trusty calculators trumph evil computer programs :D
    Lets forget about my 200%. Didn`t happen..

    It is settled then,

    GTX 780M is 29.6% faster than GTX 680M

    GTX 780M is 32.6% faster than 7970M


    Not bad, not bad. Now the search for a decent notebook starts. Alienwre, MSI or Asus. Hmmmm

    It has nothing to do with trusty calculators, just what you were comparing. Final average percent difference or average of the percentages. /shrug/ Excel still told the truth.

    The evil computer programs doesn`t alert us when we are using wrong values or formulas though :p

    Thanks to R3d which took the whole calculation to a different level by using handwriting AND a TI calculator, we got it confirmed :p

    But who cares, we knew it was gonna be pretty powerful stock vs stock. Are you upgrading HT?

    About 30% is impressive, especially over the 680M.

    Heres a nother video demonstrating various 700m GPUs in new notebooks

    "NVIDIA GTX 700M series GPUs game-on" - Videos - Viddler

    Vov did he just said that that acer has a 780m in it?? I think he made a mistake but if not it might be a good solution for poeple with tight budget.

    I would be surprised if one of those vendors got this right:

    1. Decent build quality (sturdy metal or plastic with an alloy underneath) and sturdy keyboard
    2. Lots of customization options
    3. Excellent matte screen
    4. Manual graphics switching
    5. Limited CPU and GPU overclocking covered by warranty
    6. Good warranty
    7. Near silent at idle and not deafening at load
    8. Decent sound quality

    I don't think my expectations are terribly high. I don't even have any requirements for weight or thickness.

    MSI GT70 cover all those points except #4 (it have Optimus) and #6 (2 year standard warranty good enough?)

    The new GT60/70 are amazing. They cover almost all of those points.

    It's my first matte screen and its beautiful. Very high quality and great viewing angles.

    My m17x comes really close too. I wish the keyboard were a little sturdier and the screen were matte.

    Alienware hasn't made much noise: I wonder what it will come up with this generation.

    Edit: TalonUIUC, what are your GT60's CPU and GPU temperatures under load? Have you tried "Cooler Boost" and "NOS?" And can you check the exact panel that GT60 uses?

    Playing BF3 CPU hit 70s and GPU 83/84. Temps monitored in game by afterburner OSD. That's with no turbo fan. Once I kicked it up the temps dropped to 60s CPU and 73/74 GPU. Ambient temp about 26C.

    Still on factory paste. Will change later maybe. For now the temps are solid.
