Vortex II GPU choice

My first post here, so hello :).
I got interested in Vortex II (15.6 inch) laptop serie especially, and I am thinking of purchasing one. I have a couple of questions, to administrators and users as well.
I am looking at Radeon 6990M and GF 560M. Obviously Radeon is a faster card, but it is pretty new and not much reviewed, so I was wondering if there are any significant problems with it regarding drivers, overheating, noise levels etc. (prefferably when comparing to GF560).
More importantly, I wanted to ask if 6990M is available at all at present for this laptop?

Sorry if those questions were already asked. It is pretty late :)

Anyway, looking forward to your answers.

Welcome to our forums :)

The 6990M is available and in stock in both the 15.6" and 17.3" Vortex II series, as is the GTX 560M. Whilst the HD 6990M is hotter than the GTX 560M we have not seen any reported issues of overheating or excessive noise. I would however recommend you select the advanced thermal paste option when configuring the notebook to help dissipate the heat as effectively as possible.
