Laptop GPU equivalent to GTX580?

What laptop GPUs would give me at least the same performance as a GTX580 desktop GPU?

According to Tom's Graphics Card Hierarchy listing the GTX970M is equal to the GTX580 and the GTX780M is one tier higher than the GTX580

Based on the following link, the Geforce GTX 870m, Geforce GTX 965m and the Radeon R9 M290x, Radeon HD 8970m are equivalent to the desktop GTX 580.

Look at the middle column which states "Class 1" which refers to how Notebookcheck.com groups graphics cards in terms of their performance and ranks them accordingly.

Thanks for the replies. This helps me in finding a new gaming laptop. Most of the ones that I am looking at have GTX970m, but I think I am leaning toward MSI GT72 since they have MXM video cards that could be upgraded to GTX980 one day.
