Your link has a trojan and when opened sometimes will cause this and sometimes re-clicking it will not trip the anti-virus. So step with care people, it looks like at random times of clicking that page the trojan tries to attack your system.

For those interested, 7970M will be 50-60% faster than the 580M and shares an identical layout to the 6970/6990M.

Maybe a good idea if you delete the link from your previous post "#236" just incase people not running an updated virus checker get the trojan mate. Seems that site is dodgy on many of its pages not just that link.
 
Anandtech was underestimating there, badly, it's only 10-15% behind the 7870 which is way ahead of the 560ti which has much higher clocks than the 580M.

Might take me 2 weeks to source a card, but I have the heatsink on the way.

Got the SSD installed, decided to buy the witcher 2 and game took an age to install, anyhow I'm totally blown away with the performance.

Don't be fooled, this is a real desktop replacement.... Its a gaming rig thats mobile, i'll be happy to use this and never buy another desktop again..

I was pretty much a laptop gamer with my Dell 1749, however i'm fully converted lol you don't need a huge desktop PC anymore unless you love multi screen setups.

metro 2033 didn't quite work at 1920 x 1080 mind, DX11 with DOF and tesllesation enabled killed the fps, DX9 1080 worked quite well, however Metro 2033 has never been kind to any GPU, even more so AMD

Although the witcher 2 gave it a good run for its money with uber sampling, looked amazingly good, i'll try bf3 later but for now i'm off to bed...

Worth getting one of these now or risking waiting for the new card and not getting VAT back?

Same boat as you mate, I want something for guild wars 2 and I like the idea of tax back an 3d 120Hz screen but I am going to wait a few more days to see what comes out an when.

Haha I buckled, the card will do fine for everything I'm going to play Tribes/BF3/Skyrim/Diablo 3.

Time to take my rig to pieces & try and get some cash back I think!

How much do you reckon I can get for HDDs + 3D glasses (on the MM?)

You'll be well happy with your purchase.. I'm too breaking my PC up tonight and selling the parts off...

Are you selling one of the 1TB drives out of the Samsung? The 3D glasses have to be worth £80?? I bet someone here would buy them, wasn't there a guy asking about a second pair in this very thread?

Enjoy your desktop replacement, I knew you'd buy one in the end. I too looked over so many laptops and price per performance, it seemed silly money but its actually quite cheap with the tax back etc...

Just beware that you wont be able to claim your warranty if you don't have the original parts.

I swapped one of the 1TB hd out for a SSD and I intend to put this into an external enclosure...

So if I needed to claim via warranty I'd need to put that drive back into the laptop?

That kinda sucks..!! The performance of these laptops is increased by some margin with an SSD as the pre installed hd is only 5400rpm, which is fine for storage but booting etc SSD provides a lot more umph..!!
