This is just a simple comparison that i've came across the web

Dun mind the GRAFIC card spelling. weird as it seems, it sounds modern...

so, here it is

Comparison of Grafic Cards

In the following briefly we will list all grafic cards for Notebooks, which are available at the market. Additionally we represent approximate values of different bench marks (3D Mark at the moment) in italic style beneath the display adapters.

Performance class 1

They can be compared with current high end Desktop video cards of the impact of a X800 and 6800. The cards contain a similar core, however usually they are minor clocked and therefore somewhat more slowly. The newest games should run fluently with all details.

Now only i know SLi exist for laptops as well.

Btw guys, is there any chances to upgrade graphics for lappies?

7900GTX SLI??? Power consumption??? Battery Life??? Heat produced???

Laptop having some of the limitation too...... if using high-end GC laptop display for playing games is very hot some more used alot of laptop battery energy too......

this thread is just for information. should u all need more details on performance, heat issue, obscene power consumptions and such, google is the one to consult

anyway, just to give a hnit: the 7950GTX SLi has massive heatsinks and is only available in 19"-size laptops and consumes 170+W of juice

Naw... ain't that massive. Same as the other 45W class gpu's.

Using ATi Xpress 1100 on AMD Turion64 MK36 2.0ghz... on battery mode is 100mhz core clock while on AC power is 300mhz.... Performance is so n so. Tried on NFS Carbon AC powered playable.

Hmm the chart is difficult to see tho as there's alot of disparity in the benchmark. I've posted this to another thread but I think it's quite useful and easier to see.

Here:
Mobile GPU Benchmark Comparisons

wat'bout handphone wif GC...? like Motorola VRxx powered by nVidia GoForce 4800... if i not mistaken... SE W800i also got...

let me rephrase... has intricate cooling system...

they get better designs and have a more generous air-flow

Wah lucifah,you got the very nice information about the mobile graphic cards.Those mobile graphic benchmarks are hard to be found on net.

Since power and heat is upmost important in lappies... benchmark depends really on the thermal budget and clocks speeds, throttle speeds etc are set accordingly.

As such, 2 similiarly configured systems on different notebook platform may have a bigger disparity compared to desktops lor.

even the lowest of all GPU takes up a whopping +/- 5W. that's A LOT

i'd like to see a GPU that matches the Pentium-M ULV in term of power consumption and processing power

then i'll be one step closer to my ultimate mobile porn rig

it's W900i, not W800i.

Half(if not more....) of these cards aren't even shipped to malaysia....,the best that i've senn at lowyat for by Nvidia is the 7600go and by ATI is the X1600...,why is it that the more powerfull one's aren't being brought in?....

i suggest pinning this thread. it's so mafan to search thru the pages for the thread.

This post has been edited by europology: Jan 4 2007, 06:11 PM

because local fella calls 7600's and X1600 gaming gpu's

excuse me, whats the price range for GPU on performance class 1 and 2?

true dat!

most of my frenz (who dunno my internet alter ego) keep telling me that these cards pawn lah, these card are the ultimate gaming hardware and stuff.

haihz~

waiting for a mobile 8series (or at least a mobile DX10) vga in the market.

haha... x1600 pawns? nola.. laggy with simcity 4 lol!!! i brought this b'cuz i dun1 using INTEL GMA onli~

hard to get a nice Ati/Nvidia mobility graphic card with nice spec.. or the price too exp .. haiz

Can't blame them ler... even my boss also make a buzz when he sees Radeon X1400 or even GF6100 cuz they are very very rare...
Reason: 2 many ppl want cheap... for me mid-range latops are around 4k-7k... for the rest 4k already exp... haihz...

i agree. 4k fr laptop consider a mid range. But i would prefer to have mid range laptop since they are mostly use for conventional purposes and not using mainly for hardcore gaming.

SLI on a lappie is really cool.Hav to pay 4.5 K to get a good card on a gaming lappie....

I wonder how long the SLi spec notebook can hold in term of Battery usage.

i cannot manage to get the score of 3Dmarks shown in the info with my lappie,,wonder why..the info shows that x1600 is 128bit..but wut comes with my lappie is 64bit.,

Now here is an interesting question, with Windows Vista out, does it justify to get a costly GPU that supports DX9 only or wait for a GPU that can support DX10.

Considering the capability boosted by DX10, and hearing about what is can do is impressive. The current cards that are on the market, which most or all are DX9 only cannot be brought forward in any way to use DX10 stuff.

I'm sure most GPU suppliers are racing to make cards that support DX10 from "low to high" price cards. As for the mobile section, i'm sure the it will be QUITE some long time before any laptops will be available with DX10 capable...

Tell me its false! its false! i don't want to wait too long for a lappie that can run DX10 games!!!

you can't expect a lot

ya, if want run SLI, sure go for desktop more suitable.

CAD ppl will benefit most based on mobile SLI or crossfire.wat for wan use a laptop for gaming.i burnt my motherboard coz i played maple story too much wif my laptop.cost me 400 bucks to repair it at acer service centre at USJ 3.

btw my laptop is 2 years already:
Pentium M 1.6GHZ(dothan core)
15.4wxga lcd
ati mobility radeon 9700/64mb
60gb 4200rpm IBM Travelstar HDD
1GB Kingston SODIMM DDR333
SoundBlaster Audigy2 (PCMCIA aka Cardbus)
graphic driver:-mobile catalyst 7.2

for NFS carbon,maximum setting for graphics is smooth(512mb ram still laggy during races at times) except shadow details must be set to 'LOW' and anti aliasing 'OFF'.

how u all guy think about Radeon mobiliy X2300..?
so upset it's not support for DX10

go check dis website out.RM 3899 is not expensive for a ati X1600 graphic card laptop.

http://www.benq.com.my/products/joybook?product=897

those prefer nvidia in their laptop (less than RM 4k budget)can check dis model out:

http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/my/en/ho/WF...5-12924872.html

It wont matter actually as DX9 still manage to work with DX10 stuff. The difference whether you want the new look or simply i can a new physics and graphics representation with DX10 or just running with mainstream DX9.

but let's say X2300, is changed all the vertex, pixel, pipeline into unified vertex.. izzit will be helpful..? coz more efficient and wouldnt wasting any pipeline...this is 1 of the feature of DX10 card? correct me if i'm wrong

and 1 more thing i want to ask... izzit X2300 got geometric function...?

About an hour depending on configuration. But it will downclock when running on battery cos the power draw too big

X1600 is just a broad category.. manufacturers can clock them differently. Use DDR2 or DDR3. By the way... X1600 is 128bit.

Santa Rosa launching in mid-May so Nvidia's DX10 lappy part will be out by then.

planning to get a laptop with geforce go 7300, this gpc same level with which geforce 6/7 series?

i'm using a gma 950 only on a core duo 1.83 laptop anyone knows where to buy laptop's graphic card, if thats even possible

nVidia GO 6150 falls in wat class?? Performance class 2 or 3?? TQ

You CAN actually run a DX-10 games, at some degrading cost but not much, it's like playing Far Cry on my old (no longer alive) 9200SE. No jerk or what ever, just not smooth enough.

according www.notebookcheck.net
6150 is class 5 GP

is quadcore coming to lappies any sooner? when will the lappies running on it be launched? yr end? or 2008?

btw, wat kind of GPU is recommended for running autoCAD and 3D graphics rendering?

for rendering, GC and processor also important..
if really concentrate on graphic stuff rather than game, go for Nvidia Quadro FX or ATI FireGL... special for graphic design..

that one too extreme... and expensive oso

ya haha thats very expensive... but the normal GC also got help about this...

X1600 HyperMemory is 64bit ...if u can get a X1600 w/o HM then is 128bit ...

wat is x1600w/o ??

means without hypermemory which share amount of memory with RAM.
this happen in most acer X1600 laptop.
(i.e.128/256 dedicated vram, 128/256 from RAM)

~not bad, my 3years-old 9700mobility still fall on 3rd category...

ur X1600 also shud be 64bit... but still very high end among lappy liao lo

x1600 without (w/o) Hypermemory is 128bits ...but it is a rare in notebooks ..lol

Just for updates, newest and fastest card for now is 2 x 512mb Nvidia Geforce 7950 GO GTX in SLi-enabled by Alienware (another Arima model with the same chassis as the first SLi mobile platform by them)

its available in the US by the only manufacturer Alienware Corp.( yes not even Dell for the moment..). Rumors saying it is upgradeable to dx10 cards later on. The beast is not officially out yet but its available for customize and order by now.

Here is the link for those who want more info : Alienware's Area-51 m9750

the black matte finish is the best,damn.. the single card 512mb 7950gtx almost equal to Aurora m9700's 7900GS's in SLi !!

but SLi still doing better in terms of framerate and 3dmark benchmarks.. in term of multitasking and else of coz is outperform by the m9750 consider its dual-core,dual-GPUs,dual-harddrives.. word.. and when u SLi-ed this thing, of coz it will be the fastest mobile system for now..

For those who think this is not heatwise, im sorry to dissapoint you guys but the truth is its' predecessor is well-made and very well-known for its stability in terms of hardware performance and efficiency. All credits to Arima

For the battery life, for normal purpose and presume we configure PowerMizer and stuff with a single 7900, u can get a full 2 1/2 hours tops. Hate to say but for gaming with SLi on and everything, u are lucky to get it works for full 1 hour.. u prob get the low-batt warning by the time u turn on the SLi haha..

with santa rosa new released, nvidia has announced 2 new gpu:
GeForce 8600M GS
GeForce 8600M GT

HDMI output, direct x 10, shader model 4.0, High Dynamic-Range Lighting (HDR).. wat do u guys think?

It fall into the Class 2, and i'm getting it with the Dell 1520 laptop today. seems ok, with the price.

WildChai it is better for you to keep this thread only with mobile gpu announcement or news. It's fine but as u can see it is more "clean" to keep this thread like that.

latest mobile graphic for now is
GeForce 8700M GT - first full dx10 card for mobile enthusiasts.

When it will be 8800M? Will be sooner...is this the same situation as the last generation card? For the 7600go launch 1st and later the 7900 and so on?

Why didn't the first post be updated?

To answer ur question yes. There were 7600gs back then then came 7800gtx. After that 7900gs and 7900gtx late last year then finally the best of 7xxx series 7950gtx. About 8800M we still dont know when it will comes out. Sooner or later, we just have to wait and see.

May I know where I can find driver for Nvidia GeForce 8600 M GT? I tried the usual nvidia site but none...

Black-Hawk XR5 Quad Core Dual 8800GTX Super Notebook

http://www.pcmicroworks.com/blackhawk.htm

with some of the new GPU coming out
i think the 1st page should be updated...

Just for information.
With the latest driver, intel x3100 can outperform nvidia 7150m in PES 2008.
x3100 still can play 800x600 medium,while 7150m is unplayable at medium.

source please mr. sambroyi...

my own experience.my laptop n mr kamal laptop

what is the max RAM for Intel X3100 ???

no more updates for the latest 8000-series GPU?

any updates on latest graphic card?

i agree with u all..

and also the nvidia 9 series and ati 3800 series

sorry for the question..

but where can i found the TDP or power rating for 6150 Go graphic card?

already searched in NVIDIA website (http://www.nvidia.com/page/gpu_mobo_tech_specs.html) but cant find any..

just a quick 3dmark 03 and 05 on dell precision m90

nvidia quadro fx 3500

under 3dmark 03 using mod driver windows recognise as geforce 7950gtx

under 3dmark 05 using standard dell driver


Attached thumbnail(s)

Guys, i am currently using GeForce Go 6150. Just wondering if its possible to change to a class 2 - class 3 type graphic card by just spending less than 400... coz thats all that is left of my laptop budget. pls help.
