    I take it Crysis 1 is less optimized? I honestly don't know since I've never played either.
    At OP, I LOVE your signature. Such a true statement of the old P4's :D

    The video looks completely fake.. Someone ran it on a desktop and put in screencaps for the device manager of a notebook.. and put in the nvidia logo in the end..

    also it's the uploader's 1st video..

    I just did the DX11 patch on my m17x in my sig with no overclock at all and when I ran it on Ultra 1920x1080 DX11 I got about 25 fps average. So...those cards must be at least 580s??

    Probably a GTX590m. And probably it will be a single board dual gpu like Dell's ones in XPS M1730.
    I guess we will see some good things in the future :)

    I still dont think the video is genuine... When Nvidia teases a card, they usually do it like this..
    YouTube - ‪NVIDIA Next Gen GeForce Teaser‬‏

    not a badly made video with half a screencap of the device manager in the end as proof..
    and I think the guy in the video had infi sprint energy (trainer or hack maybe..but not sure..), again makes me doubt the genuineness of the video..

    Anyway If its a 2 cores on a single card as you suggest Kingpinzero, would it show up as two separate cards in the device manager..? just asking coz i've never owned a sli or a dual-gpu rig..

    i wonder if it will fit inside my Sager NP8150 :D

    I too upgraded Crysis 2 (the best looking game ever in my opinion) to DX11 and HiRes textures. But unfortunatelly I can't play it at Ultra on my 6970M :( it just brings it down to a dead stop, aka 10fps or so, looks very choppy. BUT the game is very playable on DX11 on, Extreme, and HiRes on :)

    Engadget has the story up now.
    Nvidia officially announced the gtx570m and gtx580m.
    The first will be available for Clevos and for the Msi gt7xx. It's a revamped gtx470m, higher clocks, newer core and optimus capable/3d.
    As for the gtx580m, it is available starting from today in Alienware m18x in Sli (that's the video we've seen I suppose).
    It's a revamped gtx485m, higher clocks, better power consumption, optmius and 3d capable.
    Also available for system builders like clevo.
