150.00 more powerful. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gtx-680mx/specifications
Preliminary benchmarks suggest the difference may be marginal although I have a hard time believing that. This is pulled from an earlier thread.

I guess a question for you would be: Do you play video games? I'm using mine as my primary home computer, and I don't play games... I'm fairly confident that will not change. I ended up going with the 675 and so far I'm very happy with it.
So... It all depends on what you're going to do with your computer.
