AMD 7970m vs GTX 680m

[GTO_PAO11]

Per Slick dude- Crysis 2 on DX 11 with high texture pack installed on ultra settings on 7970m: not below 40 fps.Ranges between 50 to 55 fps.

As said before. Just look at HD7870 reviews and take -15% off them.
Cant go much wrong by doing so.

This is what I do, lol. No point needing to go looking for the benchmarks.

I don't think anyone is arguing with the 3DMark scores on the notebookcheck. The problem is with the real in-game fps. It's much lower than what people measured here.
3DMark scores were posted much earlier (~2 weeks ago), while game benchmarks just now.

That's a bit inconsistent, don't ya think? You believe the benchmark results, but not the game results?

One thing we have to take into consideration is that although AMD drivers have not matured for the new products, Nvidia drivers have matured quite a bit too since the numbers for comparisons were taken.

Here, fixed that for you. All the key words are in bold.

Yes this is a speculation thread isn`t it? The only key here is that you don`t seem to understand that

And this means?......

If notebookcheck used the same driver for gaming tests and benchmark tests, there should be no doubt on the gaming tests validity.

They all believe 3DMark11 score reflect on gaming performance. Double 3DMark score means double FPS. Therefor the gaming benchmarks notebookcheck have is wrong...

Anyways, we should just wait and see for some review from notebookcheck or from any other site to see if these numbers are valid

No, I understand this very well. The problem is that way too many times these speculations are presented here as it's a done deal, which is far from the truth. I'm just balancing all the excitement about new 680m with a little bit of reality.

I think we're really, really starting to grasp at straws here. There's no new info and topics are being rehashed ad infinitum making it very tedious finding any useful info. What say we put a moratorium on this thread until new, substantiated (key word here) becomes available.

If you get the urge to bring up a question or argument in the meantime, look back through the thread first: I guarantee it's been discussed five times already. Now lets all go outside and get some fresh air - it's a beautiful day out there.
