    Np at all. Thought I'd let you know that someone (actually I think Cloudfire linked that exact article) already.

    Plus the forums are wonky right now so good luck searching lol.

    Just got to wait and see, speculation is pointless.

    I think everyone will be surprised if the 680m does not match or beat the 7970m, Nvidia normally does not accept second place.

    Based on a leaked 3DMark 11 image? Jump to conclusions much? lol. Wait until reviewers have final silicon + drivers in their hand and put up gaming benchmarks.

    i don't jump to conclusions...but i see this reported more and more on so-called reputable websites. They could be all wrong

    Let me rephrase:

    IF this is the 680m that will be released, the 7970m will eat it alive

    Even if this screenshot was an accurate representation of its 3dmark 11 performance, it would in no way reflect actual gaming performance. So again, you're drawing far too many conclusions. I understand you love your 7970M but you may end up eating your words in a month or two.

    Bro...i really hope that by september, the real 680m or whatever it will be called is released so that i can buy it...and i hope that it destroys the 7970m so it gives me an upgrade path. This cut down version that scores 4900 will not beat the 7970m.

    you seem to think that i'm an ati fanboy...I'm not. I am a video card enthusiast that would be disappointed if this is what nvidia gives us

    Im not trying to wum, but we have seen already that generally desktop wise the new gpus are similar performance per watt so I expect nvidia and amd to be very close.

    All the reputable sites that people are mentioning don`t know anything more than what we do. The score they are posting is the 680M overclocked. Later rumors said that Nvidia ditched this card when they saw how powerful the 7970M was.

    From the SOURCE of this content which I was the first one to write about in the beginning of April. Here is the source

    Yeah it doesn`t make any sense. As you can see from the source, the first 680M was a GK106, we now know that 680M is a GK104 so they must have changed it. We even have proof confirming a GK104.
    Question is wether they just cut the 680 in half which I along with many think would be stupid because they already have a massive shortage with GTX 680s. Why on earth would they use those chips on notebooks? And it would, like Slickdude says, most likely fall behind 7970M
    I don`t know, the whole thing is confusing
