I am trying to figure out which of these cards would be best for my next laptop. I do alot of heavy High Definition 1080p video editing and rendering. I have these two options but the 680M is around $300 more than the 675mx right now.

I don't do any gaming either so would I really benefit from the $300 more or should the 675mx be good enough?

hold on what applications do you use for video editing and what the rest of the specs for the laptop your looking at ? The reason being a for editing a faster process and even HD would be better than a faster video card. Also for laptop an i5 maybe only duel core instead of the quad core counter part found on desktops.

Oh right well the software I use for editing is Sony Vegas Pro 12, Photoshop CS6, After Effects CS6, Lightroom, Adobe Audition, Cubase, and occasionally 3DS MAX.

The specs on it now are:
- i7 3630QM Processor 2.3Ghz with turbo to 3.3ghz
- 12GB Kingston HyperX CL11 RAM
- Double SSD Drives, one being Samsung 840 Pro 256GB and the other is the same but 128GB
- Full High Definition 1920x1080p display
- and the 256 bit 4GB Graphics Card either being a 675mx or the 680m
