    The 5870 never came with GDDR3,

    Thats an enthusiast level card, surely its GDDR5,

    He gets constant frame performance though, and performance on the other games is solid.

    It's the name of his video, it's maybe a mistake :)

    What do you think about the machine ben?

    Definately going for a name mistake, GDDR3 would probably run at 4850 levels for certain.

    Oh, definitely going for the 740.
    I just received a small gift from a friend in Spain, 100 Euro; brings up my budget to $1500 (-$100 shipping n crap), I'm gonna place an order for a cooler too...

    But... its now in between the 740 and the BB G71...

    Crysis on the MS1272 is being executed @ gamer, and mainstream shadow and shaders...

    While on the 'GX720' vid I posted, the guy's running everything @ Enthusiast settings with no AA...

    20~25 fps for all enthusiast = NOT BAD AT FREAKING ALL.

    It just seems slightly lower then i expect, i played crysis on very high the full way through with no AA, but my res is tiny so i haven't checked 1680x1050 yet, mind you extra frames could creep up from having a quad core mind you,

    Its defo not bad, mind you if its stock MSI drivers then they'l be a big bump on frames with new drivers,

    This seems about right, if the performance for mobility 5870 is similar to a 5750/5770 desktop the reviews on multiple websites seem to be very closely related for crysis warhead fps amount.

    1680x1050 2x AA enthuiast: 5750: 17fps, 5770: 20 fps

    Even though this is without AA I'm guessing 2X AA only makes a few fps difference.

    Bear in mind the desktop i7 920 is a lot better than a 720qm.

    I think a bit more then a few, remember its running full screen passes when using AA.
