    It's posted in 2 threads already, lol. The only thing it confirms is that the desktop i7-980X eats i7-720QM for breakfast ;) I'd like to see the same tests done on a D900F+5870. Something tells me there wouldn't be even a 10% difference.

    Think it has been posted a couple of places at least, but I reckon we can always have an own thread for it ^^

    I am looking forward to seeing the temps with the full review.

    I wonder how much impact the CPU had on the score? I don't really know that much about how the CPU works in Vantage, just know it's more GPU based.

    The scores look quite nice anyways, hope we get CF vs SLI in not too long :p

    Until I see real gaming benchmarks and actual gameplay fps comparisons, this means very little. I am particularly interested in GTA IV performance.

    GTA4 scales nicely with a multi-core CPU power, so I expect a decent FPS gain if paired with a 980X (even with a single 480M)

    does anyone know if the Stock D900F requires any modification of any kind to be able to support the GTX480M card ???

    :confused:

    I'd assume you'd need to beef up the cooler.

    What is the max TDP for the D900F? I thought it would be 75. If it is so then the 480M will not work.

    If you read it you would see that this is just a sneak peak and they finished it with saying "Stay tuned in the week ahead for guts and the glory.". So guess we just have to wait a little bit for the full review. ;)
