GeForce GTX 675M

I've been using whatever came from Samsung. All games I've tried seem to be running great. I'll just move to whatever driver nvidia releases next that supports my gpu. Till then, I'll be gaming.

To esq: Check out these BF3 settings;












And now this;








IMO Pure Ultra settings is nothing more than just diminishing returns. My OC is 797/1697. For those with 460M, ..797 core / 1620 memory should get same FPS as mine. This is just on stock voltage, nothing special just OC'ed using NVidia Inspector. View at 100% browser zoom for more image detail.

 

^ That's pretty cool. Didn't think the 460m could do it.

 

I run BF3 at 1080p auto setings and game looks amazing.
Witcher 2 at 720p on High settings and I am always above 30fps

675 should offer better performance so I think it's good card for money

Witcher2 720p High

 

All I am going is from numbers from people on this forum and notebookcheck. Anyway it makes sense as it is 2x performance per watt and the 660m is just basically a slightly oc'd 650m. Because the 670m and 675m are old gen nvidia had to put low-mid range cards like 640m 650m and 660m. If nvidia hadn't rebadged I am pretty sure the 660m would be more powerful then the 580m/675m. Heck the 660m beats the 670m on quite a fw games.

Maybe overall a 670m takes around 180w full system load with same cpu a 660m will take 120w to do, as the 670m is slightly powerful. It makes sense though.

Look at the 7970m that takes less electricity then a 670m. 28nm has great scaling while 40nm wants you reached a certain point power consumption rockets just like old tech like a q6600 vs q9300 oc to same clock speed would show a massive watt difference.

I was shocked when notebookcheck m17x r4 review with 7970m only showed 166w for the 7970m system. Oc'ing a 7970m to a similar power consumption of a 675m should show how poor fermi was.

Two years from now we'll be talking about how the current gen performance power per watt is better than the 7970M. What is your point?

My point is why people still buy 2 and a half year old tech. Its just stupid, if you are buying a gaming laptop you want top end products cor top end prices. At the end of the day that technology was out at the start of 2010 so getting a 675m 2 and a half years later for full price is dumb.

In simple terms its like buying a gtx680m 2 and a half years later lets say it is rebadged 875m while the nvidia maxwell 880m is twice as fast as the 875m and takes less power.

Its like someone renaming there gt420m as a gt615m.

At the end of the day would you buy a computer game in mid 2012 thats the same game that was created at the start of 2010 with minor revision but the game is based on same engine and is 90% identical and pay full price for it?

Thats what buying a 675m in mid 2012 is basically buying a card that came out at the start of 2010 revised.

For example my card came out in aygust 2008 so if nvidia sold the gt 220m which is rebadged version of mine in 2011 instead of 2009 it came out would you say buy that as it lets say outperforms an nvidia ion card or something.

Thats my point its 2 and a half year old technology rebadged. At least the gt220m was only rebadged one year latyer, 675m is basically a 580m but reality is based on the 400m series revised.

hmm, this should mean I can flash my card to a gt220m.

 

You are correct, it's basically a 485M/580M. But, configured exactly to the same spec as mine, an AW is $2200 with the 7970M (more with the 675M but we'll ignore that as it's insane..) and I didn't even add the 120Hz 3D display which is another $150. (I know this display, since it handles 120Hz, is the 3D one, not sure why sammy is holding back..) I didn't think the added $400 was worth it, and I liked the look of the sammy a little better though it wasn't that important.

I do plan on, if possible, upgrade the GPU down the road. I don't feel it's necessary right now. Probably in a year or so. I did a small amount of research that leads me to believe that it WOULD be possible.

Here's a post where the Series 7 Gamer model A's 6970 GPU, and a 7970M below it. Card layout is practically identical. Card edge position, GPU, mounting holes, lenght all scream it's MXM. That doesn't mean it will actually work, but it seems a little silly not to adhere to a standard. Not sure what the 675M card in the Sammy model C looks like, but it's identical on the outside I have doubts they changed the layout that much. Maybe someone will dismantle theirs eventually.

Thanks, my 675m should be able to do a bit more than your 460m. But I will start from there and find a sweet spot.
