    nice.. will price be same as current 560m version and 560m version have slightly lower price when it comes out(like gt680r to gt683r transition) or will it just have higher price tag? I am also wondering how much more powerful 570m will be compared to 560m. Maybe like 3-5% more powerful?

    570m is 30% more fillrate and 20% more memory bandwidth at base stats as Nvidia claims them.

    Don't forget the 570m's shaders are clocked LOW at defaults and it has 75% more of them!

    The 570m at 336 shaders is much closer to a desktop GPU (~desktop GTX 460 768MB) than the 560m can hope to be due to sheer brute force.

    Frankly, the 570m is closer to the 580m than the 560m.
    Expect a significant difference between the 560m and the 570m even at stock clocks.

    Is the 570m even better than the 485m? Any idea why MSI don't have the option of a 6990m, would really make it easier for me to not get a Sager. MSI gpu options is the only thing really that is holding me back.

    Also is the GT780DXR the same design as the GT780R?

    Thanks Justin

    If the present GT683R has a 560m and soon will ship with the 570m it means that the GT680R may be upgraded to these cards without any workaround?
    From what I know these notebooks are the same (GT680, GT680R and GT683R) except the HDD and the graphic board.
    If this is true then is it worth investing in a upgrade from 460m to 570m?

    I'm guessing this means that the 16F2 will also be getting this card?

    I'd like to know this as well.

    The barebones one is IMHO better due to not looking like a circus sideshow act AND having the added benefit of all the upsides with a lower price.
