Yes pls gimme a laptop that has this in it...^_^

 

[chaotic_uk]

6990M = 6870 ? , looks like the same specs to me ?

 

[lashton]

that is because the 6990M is essentially the same as a 6870 desktop GPU

 

[Completely Bonkers]

two AMD Radeon HD 6990M GPUs in CrossFireX on a single PCIe in "near silent" low power please.

6990M = 6870 ? , looks like the same specs to me ?

And GTX 280M was an 8800 GT.

They pull this stuff all the time.

The bad part is.. the HD 6990M costs as much as the HD 6990.

 

[dmitrice]

580m= 560TI
570m= 560

Someone tell me what the slot interface is called for a mobile FF video card. Is it some variation of PCIe? How many lanes are available on the card?

The thing is AMD didn't start doing this until recently, I think. Used to be, a 3870 was the same as a 3870M and whatnot. :shadedshu

It's called MXM (Mobile PCI Express Module).

[PopcornMachine]

I don't understand using 6990M for a GPU at HD 6870 level. Why not 6870M?

Oh, because they probably have a 6870M that is equivalent to some other HD card of course.

When I first saw the name 6990, I assumed they somehow created a dual GPU mobile equvialent of the HD 6990. Silly me.
