    gtx660 vs gtx670m?

    Hi! I am going to buy the new g75 very soon, but i was wondering one thing. on the nvidia homepage it says that the gtx660m has faster memory and graphics clock than the gtx670m. So isnt it supposed too be faster. And if im looking for raw power and dont car about power consumption. should i go for the gtx670m or is the overclocking potential on the gtx660m so high that it doesnt matter. The Rog comunity is so friendly. Thanks in advance!

    670m will offer slightly better performance but it's last gen tech. If you want the newest features of Kepler then you want the 660m.

    Kepler has some interesting dynamic overclocking features as well as some new advanced AA modes and better tessellation performance. It's a situational trade off where the 660 may actually be faster in certain situations but in general the 670 has more raw power.

    We are going to do an article soon showing the best playable settings in games on the 670M and hopefully I can get a 660M too.

    Will wait for the article.I wanted to know how much 670M is better than 660M & if 670M level of performance can be achieved by OC'ing the 660M.
