    Cool. Lots of reviews coming from users so we will know how it REALLY performs. :)

    Since the Quadro models sucked I think I might just buy the 680M after all

    Do it :)

    I'm considering but $300 is a lot of spare coin for a not so great increase in performance over 7970m. Although all the performance issues concern me.

    Well we do not know the real performance of 680M yet (in my opinion, I await another review to conclude), but we do know that 680M runs over 10 degree cooler than 7970M plus it draw 20W less power. And personally I prefer Nvidia due to FXAA and drivers. They just work.

    This thread among others has been closed. The next time someone posts flamebait or trolls in Sager/Clevo on the 7970m vs 680m topic, they will receive infraction regardless of who it is and who started it. Consider yourselves officially warned.
