Radeon HD 6990M is ''World's Fastest'' Mobile GPU
A new king of laptop Crysis.
Just a couple of weeks following Nvidia's claim to having the fastest notebook GPU on the planet with its GeForce GTX 580M, AMD has returned fire with its own new chart-topper.
AMD has launched the Radeon HD 6990M GPU, billed as "the world's fastest single mobile graphics processor." Under AMD's favored benchmarks, the Radeon HD 6990M GPU was measured to be "up to 25 percent faster than any other announced notebook enthusiast GPU" – the Nvidia GTX 580M.
The Radeon HD 6990M also represents a significant upgrade from AMD's other current gaming notebook graphics solution, the Radeon HD 6970M.

fball922 Interesting that they use a relative performance as a measurement. For example, maybe the 580m got 30fps one benchmark and the 6990 got 33. 3fps difference doesn't sound impressive, BUT OMG 10% BETTER certainly does.Reply -
scook9 The price for these cards as an upgrade in the Aliewnare M18x is only $500 over stock compared to $1200 over stock for the GTX 580m's.....how much is PhysX worth again?Reply -
cknobman malmentalso what..got phys-X.?I'll take the GTX580M and be happy...Reply
LMAO do you realize that Nvidia is charging double the cost of the 6990m??
If even the 6990m was 5% slower I would still buy it over the overpriced crap 580m.
