    I am guessing probably 1 to 2 fps difference at max for gaming.. you see, a jump from gtx 480 to gtx 580 got me mere 4-5 fps or so average on actual gaming on desktop. They said gtx 580 was said to be about 20-25% more powerful than gtx 480 but when comparing gtx 560m to gtx 570m, there probably are like 5-10% difference at max. So difference will be barely noticable if not at all. It's not like huge jump you would get from single gtx 560m to dual gtx 560m. If you think it's worth spending extra $100 for minor performance boost, go ahead and buy it. I would wait for if I didn't buy gt780r already but it's not something that would worth considering if you already own gtx 560m version.

    From what I'm seeing of some posts here, the 570m has a noticeable performance increase over the 560m.

    The GT780DXR is anticipated next week, so the wait for the GTX 570M will not be long..... and YES, the difference is huge! For comparison info, start with THIS PAGE, and read on.

    If you are a gamer and have the cash it's worth it.

    Yeah 192 shader cores vs 336 shader cores...I think a bit more than a few percent increase. I'd say a good 20%
