    I think they should have included the 770M in those comparisons. I don't think anyone thinks the 8970M was supposed to compete with the 780M, I mean look at the prices. It's really supposed to be the in-between for the 770M and 780M.

    That being said, for cheaper than the 780M it performs pretty well it looks like. The only exceptions seemed to be where drivers held it back.

    You can cut around 40% off the 780M to get to the 770M.
