p370em with SLI'ed 680s vs CF 7970s

What does everyone think? I've seen a few reviews of this system with the 680s in it, but I haven't seen anyone say anything about the 7970s... With no enduro the 7970s look very tempting.

Has anyone benchmarked the p370em with CF 7970s so it can be compared?

 

Xotic has some benchmarks that can come close to reality.
Clevo P370EM with gxt680m SLI = ~36500 points in Vantage
Alienware M17x with 7970m X-Fire = ~28500 points in Vantage

Look up their video reviews in youtube...the points I wrote above are average, because I dont remember the exact numbers shown in the video review of P370EM.

Crossfire fails heavily. Drivers are the main reason and as you can see, they are not improving anytime soon.
And micro-stuttering comes into mind, nvidia has alleviated the problem with some hardware and software changes, AMD on the other hand hasnt done anything in that direction.

I'd stay away from crossfire.

 

Once Sager starts shipping the Xfire equipped models We'll be sure to get our next review video up.

 

That score from the alienware its too low. In 3dmark vantage. Pgpu score is 37200 and gpu score is 25000 with a 3920xm es. So far no bsods.
And that's wit a beta 12,9 desktop driver. Keep in mind that untill now there still is no official driver beta or non beta , mobile or non mobile,that supports 7970m.
The thing is since the lcd is connected directly to the video card probably the p370em acts like a desktop platform. That why I could probably install desktop drivers

We had our 7970M CFX sample sent over to german CLEVO enthusiast SFVogt, he published his results in this thread:
