    But when coming into notebook factor.....dont you wanna check out the heat issues..........There are many laptops from HP that come with a real good graphics card but poor design cooling system which ultimately leads to auto turn off in pc...........This happen very often........

    So, with GDDR5 and 512 bit interface memory you real need a real time cooling solution for a laptop inorder to not to fry ur CPU or any component...

    I thought u said in post #38 notebook GPUs are limited by slot design not heat/power??? This thread is fantastic!

    GDDDR5 and 512-bit itself doesn't necessarily mean high power. They can cut SP out and give it low clocks, and manufacture it on a lower process thus lowering power consumption. With improved laminar flow cooling and good contact copper pipes, I'm sure a large 17" DTR would be able to handle something like this.

    I am looking forward to 5nm technology.

    Thanks mormegil83......looks to me your very much happy and pleased in a way this thread is going........

    What good is a mxm card with 512 bit interface and gddr5 and clock speed of 9800m series chip..........Man that low clock speed isnt gonna be enough for future generation in terms of gaming level..........

    Games like crysis which not even a single cored GPU can handle at highest resolution and all highest settings..........which means we need SLI to play such games..........If this is what future is expecting and waiting and if we happen to get more and more games like crysis demanding a raw power GPU single cored instead of multi cored...These people need to change the entire mxm design to handle that raw power instead of stripping it down........

    Yea Nirvana couple of years down the line you will notice even less then 5nm technology........As, I am sure you must be knowing that after intel upcoming clarkfield processor due in final quater this year......they are gonna work on thier next technological release based on 32nm and for which all designed are being created secretly.........

    If you don't know already 5nm is maximum physical limitation.

    A GTX 285 will handle VH DX10 Crysis at WUXGA just fine. 2560 x 1600 is definitely sli territory, but there are more people with sli than that monitor res ayway..

    I think he meant 55nm
    @anothergeek: The GTX 285 is a dual-gpu card in the same way as the 4870X2 or 9800GX2

    no it isn't, the 295 is though. The 285 is the fastest single core so far.

    A notebook won't have past 1920x1080 (or 1200) pixels, so you don't really need SLI for Crysis.

    If the 380M is equivalent to a GTX 285, which I doubt, then sure.

    The current GTX 280M is almost at the level of the desktop GTS 250 (aka 9800M GTX+), which isn't far off from the GTX 260/275 and 280/285.

    If the GF 300M is based on the last generation desktop (real GTX 2xx series), then it will be a slower clocked version of the GTX 260/275 and will perform well at WUXGA. If they decide to skip the last generation and just shrink the real desktop GTX 3xx then it should be even better.

    Being an owner of a 280M, I can safely say it's an impressive mobile card, but it's not quite a GTS 250. At my overclocked speeds, it's almost a stock 9800 GTX with twice the memory. But comparing my ~650/1025/1650 clocks to a fully OC'd GTS 250@803/1204/1878 (overclocker's club)... well I'm not even close.

    The mobile card must be based on the upcoming GT212. The current desktop cards (GT200 and GT206) are simply too large, it's not even feasible. Explains why we've had to wait so long for a real mobile upgrade...

    Oh look.... 40nm, GT212 is on the roadmap that came out during Cebit.

    280m is slower than a 9800gtx, which is way slower that gtx260.
    i really hope nvidia would put a little more effort in mid range market, since the g96 core is being crushed by radeon 46xx. a 40nm g94 would be wonderful.

    Same here as I have already decided to go in with a custom biult laptop and I hope that the GT 300 series based on 40nm technology turns out to be far better then the current mobile generation........But, as said due to limitation on heat/power its always gonna be turned down or stripped down version with lower clock rates and memory speed as compared to its desktop which is gonna turn out far superior and 2times faster then the current generation...

    All, may be we can do is wait and watch as to what happen in next 2or3months the details shall be leaked on web for reference purpose and we may come to know which is gonna be better...
