    I`ve been looking at the review done by notebookcheck and comparing

    Its the exact same notebook for both, yet the 680M runs 7-11 °C cooler than 675M. Notebookcheck states TDP = 100W for both, but is this true for most real life scenarios (gaming)?

    Its quite amazing that a GPU that is 45%+ faster than GPU B is running so much cooler. :)

    Cool. Seems like its working pretty good :D
    I originally wanted a 75W GPU but maybe the 680M isn`t so far away :)

    Tech is 2 years newer. 22nm vs 45nm CMOS step process. Hopefully the price drops soon. :)

    It's actually 28nm vs 45nm, but close enough.

    There is a 680m vs 7970m article on notebook check. It compares the two in a schenker and also throws in some Alienware m17x 7970m in there to show how much enduro has been hurting performance.

    This here: Review GeForce GTX 680M vs. Radeon HD 7970M - Notebookcheck.net Reviews

    Very interesting that the 7970m is still neck and neck with 680m, even in BF3 which seems to plague most users with unexplainable dips in FPS.
