AMD 7970m vs GTX 680m

[GTO_PAO11]

Those aren't benchmarks. That's what I mean. How are you supposed to compare "Witcher 2 1080p Everything enabled except UBER Sampling...45+"
with a 580m? Every playthrough will be different and will have different FPS.

Gameplay impressions are good for getting a general sense of performance, not for judging the relative performance of cards. To get a good comparison you need a repeatable benchmark so that the performance isn't affected by things other than the GPU.

What really is the purpose of the 7970m card? Isn't not to increase performance on demanding games?

As long as the card in practice performs great on games that are demanding, that's fine with me. I am not into benchmarks on 3D mark or something. Make Crysis or BF 3 play with 40 to 50 fps on max settings with max res and I will be super happy

When released 680m?
News?

The only rumor we have is from Dell forums. September launch.

680m is suppose to be launched june 1st, then again when dell or any other company who would use the card probably half a month after its release.

tbh im just wondering if there will be 685m, and if there is going to be one, will 7990m beats it =)

If you want more tests you can read this topic. P4G / [REVIEW] ATI HD7970M + Medion X6813

Also on benchmarktest you cand find test in game http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Rad...M.72675.0.html

but for the moment, the drivers for this card aren't optimised.

Always link your source please. Dell source is linked some pages ago.

So here 7870 BF3, this is basically 7970m overclock.

HD 7870 Battlefield 3 Ultra settings - YouTube

^^ This is very similar to what i get...i'm speaking more about the smooth gameplay. I'm seeing 50+fps in Ultra. It never drops below mid 40's for me either

and I'll quote from another thread by nbr member Long:

Wow man i gotta say, playing BF3 ultra settings with FPS never drop below 45 is surreal :O

He did benchmarks? I haven't seen any, but then again I haven't gone through the whole thread. Link?

Bro, i wish there were some set benches. I would love to run them for you and everyone.

The repeatable benches that we have done numerous times are:

Vantage
3dmark11
Unigine Heaven

The numbers are off the charts.

All i can give you right now are game play impressions...and the card makes my laptop feel like a gaming desktop. that is all.

I'll bet you a starbucks coffee that the 680m comes September, is a tad faster than the 7970m and costs $300 more

Yes and i think santa is real.
Do you have any evidence why you think so? I mean other than you like green stuff.
