AMD 7970m vs GTX 680m

[Zero989]

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.

NO, lol. You must be new.

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.

I have a theory that it's to do with the importance and addiction to being "right".

Regarding benchmark comparissons...

Unless the benchmarks are conducted with prescripted sequences they are about as useful as a horny 7970M owner running in a circle in a small room in Metro and announcing "HOLY S**T 90 FPS IN METRO NOTEBOOKCHECK SAYS 675M ONLY GETS 17 BRB CHANGING DRAWERS"...

Don;t get too excited until someone can benchmark it in a highly controlled environment (test wise )

[GTRagnarok]

There are already a bunch of people getting their M17x R4 with the 7970M. I hope they can chime in and do some game benchmarks. I'll definitely be doing that once I get mine if this discussion is still going on.

BTW I would rather have a single card that performs 60% faster than 2 cards at 100% faster.

NO, lol. You must be new.

Is this some sad attempt at a personal attack? You can see exactly how long I've been an NBR member, and I've been working on computers since I was 15.

Try addressing my point and the logic behind it. I don't even have to be knowledgeable in computers to see the fallacies in your argument.

What we NEED is someone who is able to test a product out objectively, without any fanboyism that may affects the test results or the conclusion.

We need someone who have both GTX 675M and 7970M, who owns many games, who can swap out their GPU and test everything on the exact system with the exact same system settings. Usually its only the big reviewer sites that is able to do this, and which is why I trust them without listening to the usual "I`ve heard Homer did 50FPS in Metro on very high settings".

First of all, you heard about it. Second of all, high settings, what does that mean? 4xAA? 8xAA? AF? High on texture? Third, stock settings? Which CPU? Modified drivers? Drivers provided by OEM? Is it average FPS? Is it the highest FPS? What are you comparing it against? System with a slower CPU? etc etc etc.

Most people in this forum are WAY to much fan of either team, and is not able to discuss or comprehend results without pitching in some of their own biased opinions

[SlickDude80]

Can you anyone post accurate benchmarks for gaming on the 7970m?

I've posted on several threads several times, but unfortunately its hard to find with the hundreds of pages now

Skyrim...1080p ULTRA 4xMSAA 16xAF...killing dragons 80+ fps in the countryside, walking around White Run 70-80fps

Crysis 2 1080p DX11 ULTRA with high rez textures installed...2 test levels, never goes lower than 40fps...so i'm gonna estimate high 40's fps average

Metro 2033 1080p DX10 VERY HIGH AAA 45+fps, usually in the 50's...much higher in the cities

BF3...HUGE improvements over the last gen...looking at 50+ at 1080p Ultra.

Witcher 2 1080p Everything enabled except UBER Sampling...45+

These numbers are not unique to me. They are being reported by several other trusted members of this forum

My laptop feels like a gaming desktop now. if this isn't enough, Slight tweaks with in game settings (especially in Witcher 2) raise up the fps significantly, but i just haven't had the need to

Sheesh 580M vs 7970M is still being argued? Look at it with some sense. The 580M/675M as they stand are a little over 30% slower than the 560 Ti, so how on earth could the 7970M only be 30-something percent faster than those cards? You'll have to be saying that the 7970M is just barely faster than the 560 Ti. We know that's not true, so recheck your numbers.

And I've been using them since I was 11. That doesn't matter. I even have a forum account at EOCF registered 2003. That also doesn't matter.

No it's not a personal attack, you guys are making something so simple into the most complicated and futile argument.

The 7970M is a 7870 @ 800Mhz and a lower memory clock.

There's no need for any kind of unique methodology.

Look at the 7870 benchmarks and take off 15-20% to give a guesstimate of the performance.

The drivers matter as well, plain and simple. Compared to what there is now, the 3DM11 scores won't change that much but the games fps change drastically. No one uses 12.3 Beta 1 except Dell.
