GTX 570M va GTX 580M

Is it worth the extra $400 for the 580M? I will be playing mostly Starcraft 2, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and Civilization V. I want to run at native resolution, which is 1920x1080. Backed by a Core i7-2630QM and 16gb of RAM.

Thoughts?

thats the difference in specs atleast

I'm really wondering what the real world performance differences are. Will the 580M have enough juice to run at higher quality settings? Or is it just for more future proof performance?

Yes and yes basicly. It really pays off to get a nice graphics card in a laptop, but id choose the middle way if i was going to buy one now.

So basically you'd stick with the 570M? It's not like it's a bad card.
