Gtx 660m

[Meaker]

Really? It will probably support optimus so the run time is likely large.

If you mean gaming while on the go then by all means but it will need to be a 1500Wh battery (we are at around 80 now for a good size) to get 10 hours of gaming.

Not going to happen on a 15.6" laptop.

It's going to be a GT 650M with GTX 660M being optional or never arriving like the promised Y570P 3D models at CES 2011.

We have 15.6" models with the GTX580m....

And the clevo/sager machines have been out longer, your point?

We now have several 15.6" platforms capable of using 100W GPUs, now you can just slot in any high end GPU into that platform.

Not with Lenovo you don't, Lenovo has yet to enter the gaming laptop market.

Anyhow, I just found out the GTX 660M is 50W TDP so very high chance that it'll be delivered as promised but only on 3D models and possibly with mSATA SSD.

This should put the Y580's GTX 660M as fast as last gen GTX 560M, very crazy indeed but this is happening with all high end 600M series cards eg. ASUS G75 is getting a GTX 670M (70W TDP) which equals a last gen GTX 580M.

np8150 supports 580m for about 7 months

Where'd you get this TDP info?

on semi accurate leaked specs. But they are probably fake...

[Nemix77]

I can't find the link but the chart for 600M series TDP is found online.

GTX 470M is 70W to 75W but I'm thinking 70W for the GTX 470M and 75W (80W) for the GTX 475M.

I highly doubt they are fake, remember the infamous HD 4850 55nm desktop card with 114W TDP, the HD 4770 is basically the same card (10% slower) in the same HD 4000 series, 40nm and 80W TDP thus leading me to a conclusion that the GTX 670M is a GTX 580M with 70W TDP (might be a bit slower 10%) and a GTX 660M is a GTX 560M with 50W TDP (again, might be a bit slower 10%).

And BTW, the HD 4770 was the first 40nm Radeon card available and overclocks like a beast (beats the best overclocked HD 4850) so plain and simple a max overclocked GTX 670M will beat a maxed overclocked GTX 580M and same goes for the GTX 660M vs GTX 560M.
