    I would like to know before i buy my notebook, how powerful is 675m in reality?
    If i use P150EM with i7-2760(i will probably use IB CPU when its available), 675M, 8gb RAM and SATA-III SSD, can i play games like World of Tanks or Diablo 3 on max graphics?

    compare the results of a gtx 560 ti with 20-30% less performance and you are safe

    It's a pretty powerful card. I'm sure you would be happy with it.

    Slightly more powerful the the GTX 580M making it the most powerful card actually shipping right now. The 7970M initial benchmarks are pretty impressive tough putting it well above the 675M but its not shipping yet.
    Check out benchmarks on the 675M here NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M - Notebookcheck.com Technik/FAQ along with several game FPS further down

    Thanks, this link helped me a lot :)
    I realised that 675M is really enough for my needs.

    I would sincerely go for the 7970m, its close to the 6950 or the 7870, its quite faster than the gtx 560 ti

    the only thing stopping someone like me from 7970 is optimus...could really use that 4-5hr battery!

    yeahh very smart

    have owned both, had problems with both, the win scenario only happens in the cost efficiency gains from the competition, that you are just soiling

    Not everything wants to pay 100 more for the newest card. 675M will more than play Diablo 3 on max settings.

    Is that from experience or guessing? I'd really like to know how this card handles Diablo. It's probably one of the more demanding games that I'll be playing.

    In the beta of Diablo 3 i had max settings on a 9800m gts nvidia card on a rig that is over 3 years old and didn't notice any slow downs. There was a screen tear rarely but it won't be a "demanding" game imo.

    The 7970m has Enduro, which is supposed to be like Optimus. How well it works and in what systems has yet to be seen, however.

    I played the Diablo beta with a 260 gtx desktop with everything maxed out completely. Diablo is NOT demanding at all. Unless you're running like a radeon 9700 pro all in wonder like used to have :p

    Enduro is supported by the GPU but it has to be supported by both the laptop hardware/Bios and drivers too both of which are still under question with the new Clevo EM lines.
    As stated above Diablo 3 is not demanding at all compared to most modern games.
    You can max it on a 5870M as some NBR members have said.

    Like HeavenCry mentioned Enduro has to be supported before graphics switching will work.
    Optimus was on the GTX 4XXM and 5XXM series but we didn't get it get used on Sager computers until these new 6XXM cards. Just gotta wait for the 7970M to get released now.
