i would say at the VERY least its on par with the 5770, my G73jh has a 5870, and that's two notebook models ago. mine has a gtx670 and it eats just about every game i can throw at it for breakfast, including the guild wars 2 beta, skyrim and bf3, and the gtx660 is technically better than the 670 (a fact that i found out after i bought mine) because of the kepler architecture which the 670 does not have, which uses up less power, builds up less heat, and once OC'd apparently blows it away.
Im not so sure about that, while looking through 3Dmarks on my laptop some people with OCd 670ms which I assume are also in either an MSI or ASUS G75 due to the other specs, get around 3800-3900 in the GPU 3d Mark while the 660m gets around 2900-3050 when OCd. I mean, im sure these 660ms could last longer under that pressure due to their less heat and power but still, the OCd 660m is equal to the stock 670m. HOWEVER this could all be a driver issue due to the 670m being a redone 570m with more power which already is supported while the 660m Keplers are new and different.
Also, a 5870M is different than a 5870, a 5870M would be less than 1/2 the power of a 5770. Desktop Cards are always more powerful than their mobile counterparts.
ASUS G75VW-BBK5 - 750GB + 8GB Hybrid Solid State/7200 RPM, 1TB 5400 Storage Hard Drive, i7 3610QM, GTX 660M and proud, 8GB 1600MHz RAM, runs quiet as a mouse, cool as an icebox, and three times the computer my Roomate's Macbook Pro is for $50 less.
