Arklight Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 This could be a speculation thread. I know it's too early, but this may be an open discussion.My main purpose is only to share an editorial on its features, specs, and whatever.It could be a possible GPU for the M14x R2.NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560M 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerBunny Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I seriously doubt this would be going into the m14x; it is probably too thermally intensive for the m14x heatsink. The 555gt is at least 30-40% below the 560m (since it is supposed to be 10% better than the 460m) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 If Alienware removed the optic drive and put in extra heat sync and cooling in that area then maybe it could handle the 560m. (lower clock?)Thanks for the heads up!StevenX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arklight Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Too late, it's only for the 17x and the 18x via Nvidia GTX 560M laptops via engadget 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 If there's news on Nvidia 500 series when will we see AMD blackcomb XTX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Something like a 570m, 580m or 585m or "higher" will be interesting... but only if it's not just a refresh of the 4xx series like it seems to be with the 560m. Why even bothering to release something like this Nvidia? Same cores, higher clocks... haven't read a lot about the card yet, but it almost seems that it's simply a higher binned 460m. Same memory interface but higher clocks... what's the point? I don't expect it to perform considerably better than a 460m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 If it flops in sales then they might think twice about that. The issue is laptop manufacturers are signing on and they will be in a ton of laptops and the mojority of them won't offer any other card but that which just promotes that same thing to happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yeah, you're absolutely right, I'm pretty sure it will sell as good as the 460m (which has been/still is a very successful card when you take a look at the models and sales). But it's still disappointing to see that it works for them with only refreshing old cards instead of really pushing the performance across the whole prdouct line.Since it's a GTX card the manufacturers can sell it as high-end gaming GPU (which is true, but it's the weakest of the high-end Nvidia cards...) Manufacturer won't step up to better cards because they're more expensive, and still Nvidia is easily able to sell cards like the 560m they don't feel need to really improve the performance (unless AMD cards are going to be a lot better). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hmmm so you need not have a Nvidia GPU to enter? You just need to show why in a 2minute video you are a notebook gamer... and if yours is the coolest... you win a Nvidia Geforce GTX 560M- powered Asus G74Sx 3D Gaming notebook. Sweet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
