Sorry in advance if this is in the wrong place. Anyways, I need to decided on which gpu to buy for a new laptop, or wether or not I should wait it out for Haswell and the 700 series. these are the options I am mainly considering at the moment. Chassis & Display
Vortex Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080)
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-3630QM (2.40GHz) 6MB
Memory (RAM)
8GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (1 x 8GB)
Graphics Card
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 680M - 4.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11/ GTX 675M - 4.0 GB DDR5 Video RAM and finally a AMD RADEON HD 7970m 2gb.
Memory - Hard Disk
750GB WD SCORPIO BLACK WD7500BPKT, SATA 3 Gb/s, 16MB CACHE (7200 rpm)
this is basically the upper limit of my budget (1330 pounds). this laptop is from pcspecialist.co.uk. anyways, I've read that I probably shouldn't get sli's in a laptop, so i'm more inclined to the amd. but since haswell is coming out, which is more energy efficient, it makes sli's more of an option. This is also coupled with the fact that there is the new 700 series (also more efficient), with the 770m being cheaper than the 680 and more powerful than any single graphics solution besides all those pricey monsters and the 780. So what I want to know is:
One: Should I wait?
Two: should I get a sli or not.
Three: if so, should I get the 675m sli, 680m sli or wait for a potential 770m sli?
Four: If not, should I get a 680, 675, 7970 from another provider, i.e. xmg with the p502. Or should I get a 770 or 780.
Please don't say get a desktop. I really would, but similar performance would cost about a thousand+ pounds (I have no monitor, mouse, keyboard etc.) Also, I want to be able to game on the move and I need a laptop for work basically. I would be very grateful if you guys could help me out here.
Cheers
