Should I change my m18x

[azazor]

2 days after I ordered my m18x the new ones came out.
I can still return mine and get the new one.
What would change are the cpu and gpus.
I presently have an Intel Core i7-2670QM 2.2GHz with dual 2GB GDDR5 AMD HD 6990M M18x.
The new one would have an Intel Core i7-3610QM with dual 2GB GDDR5 NVIDA GeForce GTX 675m.

The reason im not sure bout doing this is that it would cost 350$.
So I was wondering if the difference in power for gaming would be noticable between the 2?

Thanks!

There is such a marginal difference in performance between the two I don't think you could justify an extra 350 for the newer one. The 2670QM will probably handle heat a little better too.

I would not bother changing it. I'd keep/be happy with what you ordered.

I cant seem to be able to find good benchmark to compare. That would make choosing that much ezier

You can review benchies here: http/www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6990M-Crossfire.58862.0.html

On a single 6990, in BF3 for instance, you are only about 2 fps behind the 675. They don't have any fps gaming charts for the SLI 675 yet. You can also use the site to compare the CPU's.
