    So I've been doing a little reading around and now there are rumors out there that the GTX GPU's will be released in May. Anyone think there is any credibility in that?

    Probably paper launch in May, but the products won`t be available until after Haswell have launched in early June.
    Same goes for mobile GPUs.

    These are desktop chips, mobile tends to follow in a short while. I would say June release for 780m (total guesswork)

    I just hope the pricing is more reasonable this time around. gtx 680 was too expensive.

    780M is likely to be a direct replacement TBH.

    GTX 760M, twice as much cores as a GTX 660M. It will have GPU Boost 2.0 so it will clock much higher than 719MHz.

    Pic link broken.

    GPU-Z doesn't even see CUDA atm.

    Twice as many cores and same 128bit 64GB/s VRAM means we'll have bandwidth bottleneck problems... And px fillrate even slower? Is this to be believed?

    Thanks for linking it again.

    It have lower pixel fillrate (10GP vs 660M 13.2GP) because it is clocked at 719Mhz. That fillrate will increase by a whole lot once the GPU Boost kicks in. GT 750M GPU-Z reports 967MHz but the GPU Boost clocks it to 1200MHz.

    That Bandwidth isn`t that great, no. I assume we will see GTX 760M clocked at 1250MHz too just like GT 750M so I think the bandwidth will increase to 660M level.

    So it will be twice the shaders of a 660M but with the same memory bandwidth. Not sure how that will play out.

    So what is the general consensus on the 750M? I was thinking about a Y500 w/ single 750M for the time being, potentially a SLI 2nd after a while. Will a single 750M be able to handle a Skyrim, Sleeping Dogs, etc decently? Or would I just be throwing my money down the drain?

    Runs just fine at high detail on my 650m...

    That's just on a single 650M? Thanks HTWingNut. I appreciate the input. Surely SLI will deliver good enough performance for a couple of years.

    Don't forget, he is talking about 768p.

    This is true. 768p. Is the Y500 1080p? If so no 128-bit GPU will be "futureproof" at least if you want to run at 1080p.

    NV's 750M page shows no core count. The so-called "GeForce Performance Score" is 6.3 which, according to them, means 6.3 times of Intel HD 4000.

    Notebook Check's page shows 384@967MHz.

    It also says the 750M is 75% faster than the 650M in Crysis. That's a nice improvement. :thumbsup:

    Exactly. No way it's 75% faster. It's just a faster clocked 650m. Although if it comes with GDDR5 that will make a difference.

    The Y500s indeed have GDDR5 for their GT750Ms, as well as 1080p panels.

    So it may be possible at 1080p the 750m does significantly better than 650m with DDR3. But I never saw that comment anywhere else about it being 75% faster.

    It says right here it's "up to 75% faster than the previous generation on Crysis..."

    Probably DDR3 650M vs GDDR5 750M at high details and resolution.

    So 2 FPS vs 3.5 FPS.....

    Still a big deal for a 14" laptop, LOL.

    Not really at 3.5FPS, the impact will be much smaller at lower resolutions.
