Upcoming GPU Info Thread - 6xxM / 7xxxM Discussions!

At least it sounds like have a plan.. Otherwise a person could end up waiting forever lol.

I'm hoping the 7990M is released in July like the 6990M was last year. That would be perfect for me. But seeing as how we haven't heard anything from AMD, I'm skeptical.. And others have speculated that Dell bought early rights to the 7970M for Alienware like they did for the 6970M.

It'll definitely be interesting..

 

On another thread they were talking about the upcoming Samsung 7 series having the 7970m. Whether these will be released before, the same time, or after everything is the big question.

Like E. Blar, I am planning on ordering and changing to an AMD card if the price/performance is worth it. Ideally I'd like to see everything that will be available when ordering, but oh well.

 

And release date! Very important, I've been looking for the perfect new notebook as of dec 2010 and I really don't want to be pushed too close to haswell.

 

Oh, sweet. Saw a bit about that 7 Series during Cebit, but I havent kept up with it (bit big for my tastes). Good for Samsung! Hopefully we hear something in April from AMD then..

 

i'm looking at the same initial specs on the 150em + 675m. this is an excellent plan... *copies post. i've been reading all these speculation threads, and was a bit confused on how to proceed.

 

Why thank you.

 

So, who wants to guess what kind of giant corporate April Fools joke we're going to have to deal with regarding these cards?

EDIT: wow, the only post all day. I guess we got lucky.

 

You have been looking for over a year?

Might be time to just bite the bullet and get something man..

 

Well, my current computer didn't become too little for my needs (which is amazing considering how old it is) until about 3 months ago, when I tried to put a waterfall into the game I'm making. Now I get 10FPS... For the first 6 months, looking for a new one was more of a hobby than anything. My present GPU is so old I don't recognize it's model number. According to NoteBookCheck, it's even worse than 1st gen i3 integrated graphics. Oh, and it's 3 more days until the 5th, no way am I going to bite and get something now.

 

My apologies for the delay.
Sadly, no info on the mobile cards, but does this meet your April Fool's needs?

 

Actually, I was hoping for something from the onion but I guess it was not to be...

 

This ain´t a Clevo laptop but MSI, but since this thread is about the upcoming graphic cards... Some Benches of the 670m included.
German article, you can translate with Google or some other...

yeah... weaker than the 6970m.

 

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M - Notebookcheck.net Tech
670M ~10-20% faster than 570M

 

You actually expected the 670M to be competing with the 6970?

They probably could and you probably know it better than me.

670M < 6970 < 6990M < 7970M? < 675M=580M < 680M =7990M?

I guess that's how it is right now

 

Is it me or it is really that GTX660M or 6990M are the best mid/high end cards for money right now (until 7xxxM/680M)?

 

The 6990m was the best card for the money from the time it replaced the 6970m (which was the best card for the money when it was released). Until/unless a better performing card can dethrone the 6990m, it's a great card at the price where there isn't much competition.

 

Well hopefully 6990M will still be offered, if there aren't any news about 7970M/680M in the next 1-2 months.

 

We should remember that the new NVIDIA 675M is about half the cost of the 580M and about the same price as the 6990M.

So at this time, imo, the 675M is the best, fastest card for the money.

_

 

Except for the 7970M which is supposed to be faster than 675M. Even the 6990M is on par +-5% with the 580M (stock vs stock), so I expect the 7970M to be at least 20% faster.

 

Indeed the 7970m should make a mockery of the 580m and crush it handedly, and I agree with you that the 6990m is on par with the 580m performance wise. However the 6990m trumps the 580m due to being a fraction of the cost, and drawing much less power as well. This wasn't well known till recently, when Alienware engineers revealed that the m17x R3 throttles with the 580m due to its power draw being too high, while the superior 6990m suffers through no such flaw. Don't be fooled by the purported 100tdp of each card, there is a clear difference in power draw between them. The rebranded 675m will have all the same problems as its 580m clone.

With the throttling and blistering temps generated by the 580m, its clear to many that the 6990m won the trifecta of unadulterated performance, incredible price, and reasonable power draws for such a beast. As such there is no reason to assume that the mobile 7xxx series wont repeat their predecessors victory, and in a timely fashion as well, since the desktop parts are long since firmly established and out in the market. Meanwhile the elusive and overhyped kepler is no where to be seen, and is nearly impossible to acquire. That doesn't bode well for real mobile kepler (not low tier ultrabook class GT 640m, GT 650m, GT660m) cards to show up anytime this year, by which time Amd will long since have won the mobile crown by default.

 

You are damn right, SlickDragon!

This is why I chose AMD 6990M. And this is why Im gonna get AMD 7990m when it comes out in my new ivy config!

 

Very good post and right on.

 

Now if only AMD was compatible with 120Hz screens...

 

GTX670M maximum stable overclock!

ALL CREDIT GOES TO 慕容蛛蛛!

 

It beats 675M & 6990M. The only question is how stable is "stable"?

 

It beats what? You mean stock clocks? I don't think it beats both 6990m and 675m because those scores are in line with stock clocks benchmarks.
And with a small oc my 485m scores 17k in vantage and above 20k in 3dmark06.

 

it definitely is on par with 6990M / 580M at this OC. i got around the same P-score in 11 with a 9% OC of my 485M.

cheers

 

I'm sure they will do more...we don't even know if this was with the o/v vbios (I don't think it was) so we should see soon 900mhz on the core with 0.9v vbios

 

nope, 670m stock vbios already @ 0.9V, and it has 0.92v table available...

 

670M in SLI

Thanks for the headsup Same for 675m ?

 

dont know yet, anyone?
maybe [email protected] and theres 0.97v+???v.....table available!??

 

I think I saw 0.87v stock on a furemark test of the P150em + 675m but maybe the voltage table will be extended to 0.97v or 1v ? Who knows

 

GTX 680M tested in 3DMark11

I posted it in the Kepler thread

no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
我要GK104啊啊啊啊啊

 

恭喜恭喜GK104没有可能进GTX 680M的!

 

Please follow the forum rules and post a translation if you're not posting in english

 

忍痛出了愛機就為了680M...結果用GK106這貨!
mother's
thinking about jumping to hd79x0m, but amd no 120hz 3d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It depends on what other screen choices are available. If there's a rgbled matte panel out there, I'd rather have that vs 3D. 120hz is also a strong point though...

 

yes, 7970m no doubt based on hd7870, a lot more acceptable
dont know what nvidia is thinking, gk104 die size<=g92b, smaller than g92/gf1x4, why dont use it as notebook flagship gpu .......
or theres gk104 gtx685m comming after!? n13e gtx2 lol

 

Do we know for a fact that the new AMD cards won't support 120hz screens?

 

Practically nothing is out for the new AMD mobile cards, so it may be too early to make assumptions about the card.

 

I'm actually kind of hoping more that AMD utilizes something similar to Optimus because I'd kind of like to go with AMD this time around. If I have to sacrifice like 2 hours of battery life for one, though, it's going to be a hard sell.

Edit: But at the same time, if Optimus still loses like 5fps like the last generation, I'll probably opt for the AMD regardless of battery life.

 

any hints on 7970m release month?

 

I haven't really heard anything. I'm hoping it's ready for the new Sagers, or at the very least ready by May.

 

End of May, beginning of June according to Terrans Force. It's suppose to have similar performance to GTX675M.
The 7990M will be the card that is aimed to compete with the GTX680M...

 

Why would they release a new card to compete with the 675m when they already have one in the 6990m? I hope this wont be the case.

 

The real question is if it'll have the chance to compete with it..

 

Why would it not?
