Hi CF
As the title states, I'd like some opinions on which laptop card that can match the HD 6990M in performance - preferably from the newest generations
My old, now my brothers, laptop has had its 6990M die a few times, and now the shop doesn't have any more in stock. So they offered me a new laptop as replacement, but they can't give me any laptops with anything better than a GTX 950M.
I mean, it's the same chip as the HD 6870 with GDDR5 2GB 256-bit, 1120 stream processors and core/RAM: 715MHz/900MHz.
The GTX 950M is GDDR3/5 (both versions exist) 2GB 128-bit, 640 CUDA cores and 1097MHz/5000MHz.
MHz is obviously incomparable, but you can see why I'm skeptical I hope.
Monitor is 1080p on both solutions.
So yeah, what's the lowest GPU I should aim for?
Performance is everything, and 'features' such as Optimus or Enduro are actually a big negative in my book, though sadly pretty much unavoidable today.
Edit: Just got off the phone with them, it's an GTX 850M they can offer.
