    why bother. It is only the Kepler version. Far weaker than the old 680m or 7970m. Even the 770m is better. What we need is the 2gb VRAM version as that is maxwell.

    I haven't seen any either. I would go for the 680m or 7970m as well. They are not officially supported so you won't find our drivers online but we have seen many success stories with it on the m15x.

    All the Maxwell versions are SoC? I'm starting to doubt we'll see 20nm Maxwell this year. Why can't nvidia use Intel's foundry.
