I am deciding to buy a laptop with which I could play games too. I am looking at Lenovo Y580 and Y500 , there are various versions with core i5 and i7, but the best one that appeared to me was one with core i5 + GTX 660M.
It appears the GTX 660M version is out of stock / not in market , i didn;t do hard search atm, but 2x GT650M in SLI more are available a lot.

Will the 2x GT 650M in SLI more work better than one single GTX660M?

Thanks in advance.


P.S. I am in Netherlands, so not planning to buy online outside in order to avoid custom/duty problems.

I'm no expert in SLI, but yes the 2 GTX650m should perform better than the single GTX660m

well, the 2x GTX650M should perform better than single GTX 660M. but thats not the question.

the 2x SLi card is GT 650M (note, its not GTX, only GT and is clocked lower than GTX), and somehow lenovo put 2x GT650M in their new series instead of one GTX660M (the one with X in there).
