    That's it, and have in mind I'll just have the standard y500 with a single 650 and not upgrading it ever to sli.
    thanks

    GT750m (Y410p/Y510p/Y400/Y500) > GT660m (Y480/Y580) > GT650M (Y500/Y400)

    For single cards, of course.

    Yes 750M > 660M, I bought Y580 before Y500 came and kinda regret it myself
    but you might want to consider the fact that y500 doesn't have Nvidia Optimus even with single GPU while Y580 does.

    Even though notebookcheck say the GT 750M is marginally better than the GTX 660M, their performance stats disagree with them. Nearly all their tests have the 660 beating the 750 by varying FPS from small to substantial.

    Compute performance =/= gaming performance.
