GTX 460m users.. any regrets?

Still on the fence about what video card to get.. I'm leaning towards the 8170-s1 now with the 470.. (this silly forum makes me re-think what laptop I'm going to get on a daily basis )

Do any current owners of the 8130,8150,8170 regret getting the 460m?

Thanks!

 

Can't wait until 6970?

 

Honestly, as I'm in the wait queue( didn't know barebones orders came after the Sager full assembly orders! )

Having to wait until next week, I was looking over the configs.

The more I hope to upgrade to a 470m or a 485m, I realize how little I'm going to be using the GPU to its potential.

I'm not the type of person enthusiastically into benchmarking, or the one to know about upcoming super-intense games.

I know how you feel, as I constantly feel the urge that getting a better GPU will save money, but it just strikes me how I feel like the GPU is making me play games! ( Trust me, this feeling exists! )

I didn't get the 485m just to start playing games to use its full potential, and nor do I have the time to do such things. It all comes down to willpower: is what you are doing taxing the GPU so much as to needing the best of best? If it's not that... I feel that the upgrade is not worth it.

Laptops should serve us.. not the other way around..

 

I don't game or do any 3d work at all.
I have about 6 laptops with 3ghz c2d, quad cores, fx 3700m/gtx 280m, ati 4850 & 5850.

...sometimes they corner me... and force me to do horrible things...

 

sometimes I player game such as Mofia2 or Angry birds .

my 470m is very low temperature and a balanced performance .

The price is reasonable , Currently I'm satisfied .

but over the next few months I'll replace the 470 to 485 or above type .

I hear from an electronic engineer from CLEVO , the next gen of NVIDIA card is still 40nm , but the architecture is change .

 

architecture change will change when 28nm comes in q4 11/q1 12 with 40nm this architecture will remain as it is

for the gtx 5xx series it can be rebrand or

gtx 560m = 240 core 192bit gddr5
gtx 560m = rebrand of gtx 470m slightly oced (this is more likely as this chip is already being produced plus gtx 470m price went down will drop further in 3 to 4 months when 6970m releases)

gtx 570m = dunno whether they will release it or not but if they do most likely a rebranded oced gtx 470m or
gtx 570m = 336 cores / 192 bit gddr5/256 bit gddr5 (highly unlikely)

gtx 580m = oced gtx 485m as its a full gf104/gf114 core

gtx 580m cant be higher than that because no gf110 on mobile gpu as its unstable besides a 448 core on gf11o will be beaten by a full gf114 384 cores
