    Is there nobody buying this particular model?

    I wanted to know about the benchmarks that a GT 555M GDDR5 will produce, as well as framerates that it could offer.

    Also on how long will the battery lasts in different conditions, and how optimus affects it.

    here's a german test
    MSI GX780R Notebook im Test Entertainer im Gaming-Gewand auf notebookjournal.de

    you can translate it with google, but i think you can look at the pictures about the framerates etc

    they write, that the GT555M with GDDR5 is very bad (compared to the GDDR3 version). the problem is, that the GDDR5 version has 128Bit connection to the memory (no idea how it's called in english), and the GDDR3 version has 192Bit. Also the shaders, 96 (GDDR5) : 144 (GDDR3) are different.
