Hi would like to get everyone's opinion on GPU choice for Clevo p150em.
Question:
"Would like to know if there are NOTICABLE differences btw the 680m vs 675mx if I play the games (BF3, SimCity, SCII) on ultra? If no difference, then how about 680m vs 670mx?"
Def not the 7970 options cause I had it on my m17xr4 and I got problems from day 1 so I ended up returning it. Anyways...
I am leaning towards 680m. Cause tests wise it is def faster, but I am worried that the MX version of 680 or the 700 series will come out or get popular sometime this year, then I would end up paying for something that is about to get replaced at a high price.
My other school of thought is that I am already spending 2K+ on this why save the money and not just get the best out there. But I will not get the best just because. If it has no significant improvements over the models then that would save me a few bucks for other things.
