Red team brings the best bang for the bucks most of the time, they win me this time with my next notebook P150EM.

^^ what?? 670 has 150W TDP right? it is 6W more than 7870 and about 100 less than 7970

deff has to be less than 195w which is the tdp of the desktop 680,thus 150w sounds more than reasonable.

If gtx680 comes out faster than 7970m, then you better not hope it be cheaper than amd card. Most likely the same cenario happens what happened with desktop market. 7970M price will be cut and gtx680m stays bit more expensive.
If i´d know the release date would be soon, i would pass buying 7970m now.
Just cant count on this. Could be more than couple of months away...

I don't believe it'd be less than 4 months

a single 7970m is as powerful as 580m SLI???? Is this really true?? That powerful?????

In certain benchmarks, it's pretty close to 2x as powerful. But in games, the difference will be closer to 60% more powerful.

What?

An overclocked 7970M just reaches stock 580M SLI in Vantage/3DMark11.

So whilst gaming, a moderately overclocked 7970M will perform as well as stock 6990M Xfire / 580/675 SLI. Maybe slightly better in DX11 games.

*Looks at price of 675M* yeah it's not going to be cheap LOL.

Yeah because it is fair to compare a bigger Fermi card to a 28nm GCN card when Nvidia haven`t any high end 28nm Kepler cards to compete with price.

GTX 675M is 56% bigger than HD 7870. Its not even remotely fair comparison you made

You are really funny

*Looks at GTX560 die size of 360MM^2*
*Looks at GTX680 die size of 294MM^2*
*Looks at price of 28NM wafers*
*Looks at yields of 28NM wafers*
*Remembers Nvidia pays per wafer, not per chip*
*Remembers the price difference between a GTX560 and GTX580M regardless*
*Looks at price desktop 680s and 670s are going to be*
*Chuckles and walks away*
