660m or 670m - need gaming benchmarks

[noneone]

Hi all!

notebookcheck.com

clearly shows the 660m slower than the 670m (10 to 20%) and 30% slower than the 675m. Yes. I know the 660m uses less power, is cooler, newer platform, and can be overclocked a bunch, but, the 670M can be OC too. Of course, the 680M is tons faster than even the 675M, and is the card to get for the most power, but, alas, not for Asus G75.


I currently have alienware m17x Dual gtx 280m SLI. I'm considering G75VW with a 660M ($1200 USD, Best Buy) G75 with a 670M (Tigerdirect, $1500), or an MSI GT70 "maxed out" $2500 G680. I would rather get (probably get more longevity) a G75 for $1200 now, and then a G7x for $1200 next year, but, the 680M is tempting.


I need to get a better handle on how fast the 660M really is right now.


SO, it would help me if you all could post some FPS for games. I am MOST interested in WoW at 1080P at max settings, and for BF3, at max settings.

If I could get some real world 670M VS 660M gaming FPS benches that would help me out.

Thanks much for any help!

1080P WOW - I would assume so, since Notebookcheck.net says maxed out for the 660M.

Sorta, notebookcheck DOES say maxed out and shows like .. 118 FPS .... almost 3 times what bignazpwns shows ... .... near as I can tell, notebookcheck's wow fps are at a much lower resolution, 1200 x 700 or something like that. SO, I was wondering what fps might be at full HD resolution.

Thanks big!

Well I don't know about the games you asked, but I played Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Crysis 2 at MAX graphics settings on 900p (My screen is not 1080p) with the 660M and it's running smoothly!

NP. They also only list it as high. Not Ultra so that mans either they just put some random numbers in a template or some how traveled back in time to run wow since ultra has been around for a long time. Also most people don't know that with 5.04 they did some graphic updates in terms of settings. They also don't tell you if they were sitting in a corner or looking at the ground. My results are what you get sitting in org on a high pop server during peek hours or in the middle of a 24m or 40m bg in all the aoe they stuff you care about.

I'll add in my input, I have been playing Witcher 2 on high-ultra settings, GW2 on Ultra settings and have been getting very consistent high fps on them no problem and my temperature has never went above 70 on the 660m, even overclocked. Very decent card.

Which of the two cards would you suggest to someone who is going to be buying the G75VW? I have talked to a few people and been told that the 670M can be overclocked to either match the 675M or even out perform the stock settings on the 675M. Please let me know which would be the smarter choice. The 660M would definitely save me some money but I plan to keep this laptop for awhile and I would like to continue to have the best performance possible with all games.

Hi hi2u.

They are both good cards. Go check out some of the OC threads on these cards. I'm trying to get some specifics on the two games I play the most, BF3 and wow, I've do some skyrim, crysis and others, but right now, mostly bf3 and wow. There's lots of 3dmark and benchmarks out there, I was just trying to get specifics for what I do.

What exact games are you using Hi2u, maybe someone here could post a bench for those too.

I mostly play WoW but I also play the following games:

Starcraft 2
Diablo 3
BF3
Crysis 2
The Secret World

I know that notebookcheck gives specs on both cards but those dont include overclocked specs. It sounds like the 660M can be overclocked more and i want to play all of the above games on ultra or high with great results.
