    from 9800m-gtx to gtx 280m? i'd say 15% is conservative, 20% reasonable, 25% everybody's dream.

    he said GTS

    so going off of waht whizzo said maybe somewhere between 30-50% increase. let's just say you'll notice!

    Edit:Ranger seems more up to date on this one. i stopped following nvidia for a little.

    30-50% is a pipe dream, I'm not giving it more the 20% and that's for GTS to GTX280M.

    You mean the GPU? We need to wait for someone with desoldering skills and an extra GPU?

    the GPU cant be upgraded what-so-ever, and its not worth the upgrade to a new laptop. These cards havent even been released you should wait until there are proper benchmarks released instead of relying on our guesses, which may or may not be right.
