Founder Michael Posted January 11, 2013 Founder Share Posted January 11, 2013 Those are just rebadged old cards, maybe slightly better performing but nothing too exciting. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6579/nvidias-annual-gpu-rebadge-begins-geforce-gt-730m-and-geforce-710m-partial-specs-publishedCertainly isn't worth waiting for m14x refresh because of it.Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator BAKED Posted January 11, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 11, 2013 It's a shame really, a scam to lure the consumers to purchase the same stuff wrapped up in a new shiny package. A waste of resources. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 It's 28nm, so at least a die shrink... less power draw & heat. Rebadging has been around for a long time. Nvidia really likes to mess with unsuspecting customers, even more than other manufacturers, just look at what they did with the 600m series... 670m and 675m are rebadged fermi cards (570m, 580m), 40nm manufacturing process, and the best is that the 570m and 580m are already rebadges of the 470m respectively 485m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quix Omega Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Considering the specs of the 730m it would be a downgrade. They'll probably end up putting a Geforce 750m, which will be a re-branded 660m or something of the sort. It'll be available when Broadwell notebooks come out around June-July.It could be worse, at least they reduced the series numbers on these. The Geforce GTX 460 and GTX 560 were basically exactly the same card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricco Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hey guys, I'm looking at a pair of identical laptops, the only difference being this graphics card, one with a gt630m and one with this 'new' gt710m, with all this in mind, which one would you guys go for?
