GTX480M, not quite that mobile

Haha just found this pic at engadget;
It's of the GTX480M inside a laptop. It uses THREE fans to cool it.
Would need a freaking beast of a laptop case to house that

It's actually for those people who can't take up the noise or power or doesn't want to build a gaming rig. I'm pretty sure there is a switch that allows you to go integrated with some sort of power conservative mobile GPU from this. BTW, no one would be "gaming-on-the-go". It'll be pointless.

Um, i sold my desktop now that im at uni and i use my Laptop to game.

CSS
Stalker
AOE
DOTA
MW
MW2
BFBC2

i just go to the library and jam on the free wireless YUSSSS

Ah, so that explains my question from the other thread

Hm I would never game on the go, but I would love a easy to take around to places to game..
My rig is too much hassle to move around on.. D:

Would love to sell my rig and buy a sick laptop, but laptops can't be upgraded spec wise. (well they can.. but you know what I mean)

Man, I just wished, that someday you can build your own laptop, just like you can with a desktop... would be awesome!

I wonder... why not call it "GTX465M", since it IS a GTX465 with lower clockspeeds..?

The GTX 480 really means that there will not be a mobile GPU that is faster than it. Which Nvidia cannot make a faster one. The mobility 5870 only has 800 cores, it's cut in half. Nvidia's will destroy it.

Rofl, so in fact HD5870M is just a 4870 with lower clock speeds and DX11?

Hahaha indeed.
Nvidia 9800M GTX in SLi can beat the mobility 5870.

Yeah right, but don't forget battery usage and heat!!!

Yeah that's true...
I'm betting the ATi card has a little bit better battery power.
BUT WAIT!! Nvidia has Optimus, it's a close fight.

True, but I heard somewhere that Optimus has a s***load of problems.

Ruffle DK, ur right it would be fucking mint to build ur own LAPTOP like if u could buy different laptop cases ae YUSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Aahhhh would be so awesome D:

Laptops are bit more complicated to build than desktops though because everything is a lot smaller and squished in. When I open up a laptop and see inside I die thinking "WHERE'S THE AIRFLOW!?"

That is huge >.

I've always wondered why companies dont just make laptops a bit bigger and put sall exhaust fans on the side since you typically set laptops on a surface while using them. Also I imagine the battery life on a laptop with a GTX480M is probablly only like an hour fully charged.
