    I was looking at the Envy 15 HP manual. I was looking at the list of GPU's, and I saw this GPU listed, N15S-GT GeForce 840M with 2048 MB of dedicated video memory (256 MBx16 DDR3 960 MHz x 4 pcs, 1 GHz bridge to 960 MHz) Support for HD decode, DX11, and HDMI

    Is that the new Maxwell version or something? So are the rumors true about Maxwell being released Q1 2014? Did HP just release specs to a GPU before Nvida even made the announcement? Or is this an HP missprint? http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03943414.pdf

    Boo smelly DDR3 again, what this under clock it down 40 MHz. Yeah that what is looks like, if anything, will not be surprised if it is the exact same GK208 core rebranded.
    Further on I see the screen are still rated only 60% for FHD and standard HD at 45% color gamut, man that's low as you can go.
