I'm just selling the old machine entirely. Already found a buyer on these forums - the upgrade is only setting me back about $500 in total.

@ethem
You said sager/clevo will not be releasing new models till later? Right now xoticpc is offering np9377 with dual 980ms for around $2570 or 2470. I guess ill wait. -
-
Anyone know if Dell (specifically Dell UK) offers to do GPU upgrades? My current A18 has twin 780Ms but the scent of the 980M is just too much to ignore...
I would expect there to be a hefty cost for the cards but I'm just (VERY) curious if they actually offer to do this. Anyone? -

Currently I'm leaning towards the Gigabyte 35xv3 but the pricing is around 2200-2400ish depending where I get it at. Hopefully there will be a review of it soon. -
What is the situation with the HDMI/DP outputs on all of these updated notebooks.
Do any of the slimmer machines have HDMI/DP ports connected directly to the dGPU as to avoid the iGPU entirely?
Reason I ask is future proofing for VR which will require refresh rates above 60Hz. -
I'm not even sure what I like the most.
The superior performance of Maxwell, or,
The low heat output of Maxwell, or,
The amazing cooling system of GT72...
Oh man I have a fun time ahead of me trying to figure out what notebook I want to buy. All I know for sure is that Maxwell is a godsend for me who prefer low noise and want performance
Great review Ken :thumbsup:Last edited by a moderator: May 12, 2015 -

Actually guys I"d just like to point out 3DMark11 really doesn't heat up the GPU much. My gaming temps are almost always 5-10C higher than the 3DMark11 temps, so keep those pants on for now.

A bit disappointed about the 980M specs, it a pretty massive castration of the GM204. I am pretty sure they will release a full GM204 in a few months that will be even more powerful by 20-25% since it can easily fit in any gaming notebook (yep, GM204 consume less power than GK104 so why it wouldn't) (it is basically the reiteration of the Kepler mobile's story).
The gap between the previous flagship will still be huge, but I don't like these fictive new mobile GPUs that just are unlocked existent chips.octiceps likes this. -
I'd take a GTX 980M running at 75C any day of the weekMr Najsman likes this. -

Anyway what I'm trying to say is that thin and light laptops may still get a bit toasty if the manufacturer decides to shove a 980M in there. 970M should work out totally fine though. -
Asus - ROG G751JY-T7004H - 17,3''Full HD - Intel Core i7-4710HQ - HDD 1 To + SSD 256 Go - RAM 16 Go - GTX 980M - Win 8.1 - G751JY-T7004H - Achat/Vente Ordinateur Portable Grand Public | Rue du commerce
1700€ already in France, it's damn cheap regarding the specs (16Gb RAM, 256Gb SSD, GTX 980M) and the competition (2500€ for the cheapest MSI with a 980M) and a launching price.

Could we change the asus keyboard?
Which is the cheaper netbook with spanish keyboard? -
Did you see the comparison I made 970M vs 880M?
20% faster (Sometimes +40%) and with thermals like that, its pretty amazing chip -
Some disappointing news about Asus GX500 from Asus representative at their official forum - apparently its update to GTX 980M made it delayed till 2015
Original planned GX500 version with GTX 860M was briefly shown at two French sites for ~2,500 EUR with availability on December 8, 2014.
Reminder: Asus GX500 is new thin 15" model with 4K display, planned with GTX 860M but leaked benchmarks have shown refresh with GTX 980M (same category as Gigabyte P35X v3 and Clevo 650SG, which should be available around end of October 2014 and noticeably cheaper).

Any news about gtx 960M?

And I would not overheat cause the chip is more power efficient than the GK104 (like GTX 880M). It won't sucks, it's just that nvidia is keeping away the true flagship until they milk this one. -

honestly they start raising the price for the base model in slick way
I am pretty surprised that now the cheapest machine with gtx 970M is no way less than $1500
while back then with 870M it was $12xx USD -

regarding gtx 870M vs gtx 970M, take a look at P150/157 SM and see it costs $150 to upgrade from 870M to 970M -

Nvidia are charging more for the new cards.

I talked to Alex H. from xotic pc.
he mentioned the GTX 900M series won't ship until the end of October
actually no need to rush getting the machine, it is better to watch how it performs until one or two good nvidia drivers come
even price might drop a little bit. if any of you remember how Kepler was launched?
I remember exactly you need to add $100 from GTX 670M to GTX 670MX and $250 from GTX 670M to GTX 675MX, and so on
End of November or Beginning of December might be a good date, who knows maybe Santa comes down your rooftop with a SLI GTX 980M
PS : the upgrade is massive compared to last gen, however, the gap between GTX 980 and GTX 980M is TOO HIGH (Big gap in number of Shader 1536 vs 2048) and higher than the gap between GTX 670 and GTX 680M (which was only about core clock and memory clock but has the same shader count 1344 vs 1344). who knows what will happen next? -
Guys, I think I need the Aorus X7 Pro

irfan wikaputra Notebook Consultant
one more thing
the gap between gtx 980M vs 970M is also higher than gtx 880M vs gtx 870M
and maybe that explains the difference in temp and power consumption
believe me or not, gtx 970M is the bad apple and gtx 980M is "not so ripped" banana
Edit : I will probably be getting 980M SLI as it will be the BEST Bang for the Buck right now (i know you will question that). and will sell the moment some benchmark of mobile full GM204 leaks.

Anyone can provide me some German MSI Resellers which have the MSI GS70/GS60 with the 970M available or in stock?
I cant seem to find any :c -
Nvidia is playing the long game. With 980M "only" having 12 SMM's (1536 cores), they will milk GM204 over three successive mobile generations, releasing a 13 SMM (1664 core) part next year and the full 16 SMM/2048 core GPU the year after that.
It's looking like GK104 all over again. Competition from AMD is needed, badly.Kaozm and holytoledo951 like this. -

what should i expect if i get the 3gb version of the 970m instead of the 6gb? stuttering or low fps at ultra settings? im forced to get the 3gb version because the cheapest 6gb from asus,msi and gigabyte is like 1900$ and i can only afford to pay 1500$

Unless I get compensated somehow, why should I waste my own time and get frustrated over something that's supposed to work but doesn't because the company was too cheap to bother with proper QC? I don't gain anything except loss of sleep and headaches. -
What happened to your 970's, n=1?!
GTX 900M series officially announced by NVIDIA!!!
