The GT 650M in Apple's new Macbook Pro is faster than a GTX 660M?

Just installed bootcamp on my retina MBP and saw what looked like crazy clock speeds with the Forceware 2xx drivers. Hacked the latest driver and still seeing the same. Guess I oughta run some benches?

Are the clock speeds the same in OSX?

howd you get bootcamp to run the nvidia drivers, i thought they werent released yet?

after checking notebookcheck, it appears the 650m and 660m are almost the exact same chip.

anand (who i dislike) shows it being somewhat better then the GT555M too, which is really good as Nvidia wasn't on a really good track of beating their older mobile gpus.

They're out. But they come with a 296 driver. The 304 installs just fine if you add the he ID to the inf.

Yes those are higher clocks than a normal 650m.

The only real difference between a 650m and 660m is the 660m comes in MXM3.0 flavor and is slightly user upgradeable in select few laptops.
