When I was doing research for my new laptop I found that people were very upset at the upcoming cards. From what I read it was due to renaming of the same chip. The performance was not that much better. ATI an Nvidia will have new names for their cards soon. I went with the Nvidia 570 with 3gig ram. So far its works really well for my needs. I can't remember if I read that at tomshardware or some other place. Do a search and you will see what I am talking about. People were pissed.
