    I was lying awake in bed when I realized something crazy about Nvidia mobile GPU numbering schemes.

    If you take the first two numbers and flip them, performance is roughly the same!

    Examples:
    780M = 870M
    680M = 860M
    580M = 850M
    675M = 765M
    670M = 760M
    570M = 750M
    560M = 650M

    Am I going insane?

    Let's predict the future!

    980M = 890M
    970M = 790M
    965M = 695M

    ...

    Crap.

    Do I look like I did research before posting this?

    (Included 755M because NBC only tested 750M DDR3.)

    Unfortunately the pattern ended at 900M since Nvidia never has a 9 as its second digit on mobile

    LOL was awake hours ago

    He's right though! If you flip the numbers in the 880M you still get a steaming pile of ****!
