    There's no such thing as a 270M. Can you clarify?

    first resault of the GTX270M on google was your thread! which means this gpu doesn't exist! either you mean GTX260M or GTX280M!

    GTX260M is just powerful as the desktop 9800GT which is perfect for 720p - 900p (1080p if you're lucky) gaming with high settings! the GTX280M and GTX285M are just slightly faster and even less powerful than the aging GTX460M by %20! either way they're still OK cards, capable of playing games on high settings!

    Oh man, what a difference! Medium? LOL. At 720p, the GTX 570M will run any game out with every detail set to maximum.

    Expect that 570m to run high settings at at least 720p for several years. If you don't care about console exclusive titles, it will absolutely destroy the ps3 in terms of graphics.

    The 570M is close to the best GPU NVIDIA has made to date, which is similar with AMD's 6950M card.

    Best AMD GPU is actually the 6990m, but the performance of the 570M is similar to the 6950m's which exists.

    Ok it may exist, but it is only in one system that I have seen... I also said the best AMD GPU is the 6990m?

    The 6950M only exists on paper, and will never actually be seen in a notebook.
    This is a GTX 570M:

    It's literally a desktop GTX 560, but it's 192-bit instead of 256-bit.

    I think Ill stick with my 485m. I have it clocked higher than the 580m right now anyway, and that's the newest on the market!

    The 485m has been a really reliable card for me.
