7 Comments on Eurocom Ships the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M Kepler Graphics Solution
Which is the usual price for notebooks like these? Are we talking about cheap gaming capable laptops here?
This also gives hope for GK106 btw. GK107 is a lot closer in terms of shader vs shader than GK104. As strange as it might sound maybe the GTX680 is the worst card in the Kepler family (comparatively). But on a second thought, that might not be so strange, seing as how perf/watt was the goal and for this the usual method is starting small and scaling up*, as opposed to when absolute performance is the goal, and you scale down**.
*maybe losing efficiency/scalability as you go up. i.e. AMD cards for a long time, ARM.
** losing efficiency as you go down. i.e. Fermi, x86

better options here for ultimate gaming
Since the 660M is based on the low-end chip, my hope is to be able to find it along with other low-end parts, such as i3's or cheap i5's and something like 17" 1600x900 for significantly less than $1000. Because if you really want to be able to play on a laptop you usually have to pay $1500 or more. You could be seing decent non-gaming laptops for les than 800€ but the minute you start looking for decent GPUs, your price jumps to double that.
* I'm of the opinion that any serious gamer goes with desktop anyway.
