I'm beginning to think "gaming laptop" is an oxy moron. Aside from the fact that my 2008 Macbook Pro huffs and puffs when trying to run Source games on the lowest settings, laptops are meant for business-associated work when travelling--not gaming.

6970 and the 560 are close, and when put in SLI/Crossfire, the 560's actually beat the 6970's in overall performance. On the chart you sent, they show the 6970M as 2,614 marks, and the 560M as 1,298. Now granted, this doesn't measure them in crossfire / SLI, but that puts the 6970M as basically double the speed of the 560M.

Business??? Why do you think they have Decent GFX Cards in them...? Business computers would get along fine with much less than those specs, I'd say around 2GB-4GB of ram 2.40ghz core two duo CPU and a 512mb GFX card. -Yet these specs I described are considered to be good for most video games

Yes, it'd be on-par with a desktop, only mobile.
