    We know that most places are putting a $300 premium over the 7970M.

    Also assuming the 680M will overclock to desktop levels is a LOT to hope for.

    Even at the same clocks there is no way turbo will be giving the same levels of increase as the desktop card (which is quite aggressive and why it keeps pace with the 680).

    I hope its tweakable, I do, but don't get carried away just yet.

    Also many 7970M cards are clocking past stock 7870 clocks.
