    are you saying that a single 670mx is half the price but double the performance of a 680m or that the sli setup is?

    umm nope, two 670mx in sli=$400 and a single 680m=$650~700, but their performance "nearly" the same(sli supported application)

    Nice, haven't has a SLI laptop in a while but is micro stuttering still a problem or have they fixed that issue?
    It used too be very noticeable to me and decided to stick with single GPU laptops.

    If you can afford it I will still go single 680M for the lower input lag and better frame times but 670MX twinned is pretty good.

    Can you run 3DMark11 X score? That would be at 1080p and offer a real indication of its performance difference between single 680m and 670mx SLI.

    It is surprisingly strong :D However, hitting 80C in a mobile GPU is nothing new - my 7970M hits 84C currently in 3dmark13 and I'm perfectly fine with it - I'm actually thinking of pushing the voltage a bit more but we shall see if I ever get to it.

    Yeah, it used to be 90-100 in the high end, the latest chips have been bringing it down a bit.

    Wow, the "oc 1000/1100 (ov 0.04v)" is nearly the same result as with GTX 680m stock clocks (SLI) in my X7200...
    3DMark11 even higher...

    Didn´t thought that this would be possible...
