Deciding between GTX 670m and GTX 675m

by Smiddi - 6/5/12 3:30 PM

Hey i currently live in New Zealand and was planning to import a np9150 from xoticpc. My issue is i cannot decide whether to get the GTX 670m or for another 100usd get the GTX 675M. I think my main question is how do the two graphics cards compare specifically in terms of power consumption, weight, noise and heat. Any help on this would be really appreciated

Between more cores and a little more MHz, the 675m is clearly the gamer's choice. It appears to be in the same 100 Watt power use range.

I can only guess you are OK with desktop replacement machines and shorter lifespans than a plain laptop.

True enough, but it looks like the 670 is closer to the 75 watt range, would that make much of a difference?

My note on Watts is the PEAK.

Sorry but the noise is not determined by the GPU used in this case. It's determined by the overall design.
