bad news... the GT 740m is based on the older GK208 architecture with 64-bit memory bus width. Still, i am happy afterall because its GT740m nevertheless.

As it is clearly seen, the GT 740m is based on the older GK208 architecture, thats, 64-bit memory bus width. Now thats a big let down. Nevertheless, its a great GPU and there is boost enabled too, upto 1033Mhz! Now that's cool.

Notebookcheck.net is a very respectable website when it comes to comparison of laptop components. Their reviews of laptops is the most comprehensive. According to their website...
740m
8750m 
8730m: bandanafighter: 7670mie, 740m>>>>>8750m>>>>>8730m>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>7670m
ie,
gt740m comes 15th in Class 2 GPU
8750m comes 22 positions below gt740m. 8750m is in class2.
8730m comes 21 positions below 8750m. 8730m is the second last card of class2.
7670m is 43rd position in Class 3.
Dude, you are nuts to even compare 7670m to 740m!!

Yea but the 740m you compared is based on the new architecture
They havent reviewed 740m based on gk208 and this is writen in review of 740m:
'' The gk208 version however, has petformed worse.''

^^^ did you redeem your one year extra ADP and gift voucher???
also 1 year extra ADP means total 2 years of ADP..isn't it???coz in the website it's written that ADP offer is not valid for products where ADP is already built in

In the zone
It's more or less equal to hd 8750m which has 8 rops and 24 tmus.
This gk208 version doesn't fare well at high-ultra settings but is faster at low-high settings. Bcoz of 64-bit
Where as 8750m will do better at high-ultra due to 128-bit and may not reach the speeds of 740m at lower settings.

Yes, i registered for ADP and coupon code... The ADP confirmation has arrived but the coupon code is yet to come.
Hey even I registered yesterday. The ADP has arrived so now you have 2 years of ADP right? Because 1 year was already there from the beginning.

Gear up ...
a) Take a pic of it
b) Use two fingers, just go through the tutorial in your touchpad driver for all gestures

the initial settings are set to reverse scroll. So switch off the check box in Elan settings from your notifications in task bar. I faced the same problem initially.

thanks...
i have many doubts at the moment.. will surface them one by one
ok HW monitor is not showing the nvidia 740m in the temperature list. but GPU-Z shows it and the device manager also states that it is working properly. so the reckon that the 740m will start automatically when doing graphics intensive works(like gaming)???. Moreover as you were saying earlier that optimus tech is present , well i didn't find it at all in any of the settings, you sure it is present?
