    Why 770m (clevo) did not become the flavor of the month?

    For some reason, the y510p with all those faults (cute form factor SSD, may or may not have optimus, SLI "goodness" etc) and "lightweight" (1-1.5lb less with 6cell vs 8cell) 765m models seem to be the most discussed/ looked upon when look at mid-high range machines.

    I remember a years ago, 16f3 with 570m was the killer with its price/performance, but it seem that's not the case any more?

    Any one mind explaining ?

    Poor taste? not enough knowledge regarding power?

    Lower TDP, lower power consumption, much faster clocks, more shaders, new architecture, cheaper, and it's embedded. 765m will outperform the 192-bit 670mx by a fair amount. The "best bang for the buck" GPU always changes with each iteration. This time around it's the 765m.

    770m being sold near 1100 is a good option, and its a 10-15% faster as well

    If there is a choice I'd definitely go with 770m
