i7 940XM or nvidia GTX 460M?

[TheHighlightGuy]

The 460M sounds like a better deal tbh. And you really don't need a 940xm unless you're benching. A 920XM will do you just fine I'm running the 460M + 920XM rig and I couldn't be happier.

if you plan on playing sc2, i would go with the processor, b/c sc2 is more processor heavy than GPU heavy

i doubt that even in sc2 the processor will bring a great improvement, especially since the other cpu is no slouch either

SC2 runs in max res, all setting maxed silky smooth on my 740 with a 5850.

have benched the 5850 and 460m on seperate machines through 3dmarkvantage
5850 wins by about 1000 marks, both overclocked

I would go for the machine with the better processor as the video cards are very close in performance

[landsome]

but the option is between a 260M and a 460M, not the latter and a 5850. i have had both the 460M and the 5850, and the latter is both faster and less issue-prone (i.e., no throttling)

[Cereallll]

you are correct, sorry about the false comparison..
