    while I think comparing it to the 780m is a bit far-fetched =P, the 680m comparison is valid even with enduro setups. All notebookcheck.net benchmarks are on enduro machines(clevo), which clearly show that even with enduro the performance is well-matched.

    If you want to prove that enduro is a big problem, please provide benchmarks for enduro vs non-enduro machines.

    it is funny you ask a prove for a well-known problem. and i never said it is big.
    and yes, i have post a link to nbc about their experience on saint row 4 with 7970m enduro, did you see it?

    Actually, I'm the one who quoted that link in the first place. If you look closely, you will find that NBC did not benchmark on a non-enduro laptop. They only speculated that the problem might be enduro related.

    Regardless of that, SR4 runs well over 30fps even according to them.

    What is funny is that you dedicate time to make display pics and signatures to rant against AMD but provide no proof when required.

    Does anybody play League of Legends around here? I saw someone saying they get constant 88% utilization on the previous driver.
    Are there any improvements?

    I play LoL frequently. I have no idea what utilization I get(never checked). However, I can claim to get 80-90 fps with everything but shadows maxed out. This is on the stable fps setting. with the benchmark setting I think I can get around 130+. Haven't checked that extensively though so I'll tell you more when I do.

    What fps are you getting in game?

    It depends on the map, since howling abyss seems to be more demanding. I get my computer back from some repair tomorrow, So i can check some then.
    Thank you for your reply :)
    P.S Which processor do you have?

    I have the p170em with the intel 3630qm. LoL is not a very demanding game. It can run flawlessly on max settings without any hiccups. But I'm sure you already knew that =). If you can tell me what fps you got on your system we could compare.
