Hmm.. 1st time posting here and wanted to find out more about the TurboCache thing with the nVidia card.

Actually... more looking into the new laptop release by BenQ .. the Joybook S41...

It says using nVIDIA GeForce 8600 GS... with turbocache 1GB... anyone able to explain more indepth of the actual ram available, kinda noob on this sort of things.

Hi

You can know everything about Turbocache at --> Here

In my own term, TurboCache is a technology used by low end GC to be able to utilize the memory of the PC as part of the GC themselves. Take it in this sense, your 8600GS originally has 128MB (assumption). If your GC need more memory in running some graphics application, it can consume of the the memory of your motherboard and use it like its own memory to handle those application smoothly...

But AFAIK, if you wanted to run the full 1gb of turbocache memory, you must at least have 1256MB of ram.

Wa.. you got so many money to burn eh...


8950GX2... that will definitely cost a bomb...

Well... but if you are serious on getting it.. can give me one of your 8800GTS ka

Thanks for the info, but how would the performance fare overall?

Naturally, the performance would be worst compared to a graphic card that has a dedicated RAMs i.e. the RAMS are on the GC itself....

Hmm... any recommendation on laptop with good nvidia card that doesn't rely much on shared memory to boost up the graphic performance?

How about letting us know your budget first?

Someone can clarify what does this ROPs (Rasterization Operator Units) affected the graphical processing ?

Some reference :

floating between 4k~7k

With that kinda budget, you can really get a decent desktop. Anyway, I think you can get better suggestion here.

Well, 8series wise, i am not so sure which are available or which are not. But 7series wise, i know there are the 7900series for laptop.Go check out the 7series thread if you dont mind getting something not DX10 capable or maybe ask around here in the Mobile GPU thread:

actually, he wanted to buy a laptop, not desktop.

but if you were to change your mind and buy a desktop instead with that much of a budget, u can get a super good pc!

hehe, on the move alot thou, so pc might not suit me best... =/

so ended have to look for laptop instead of desktop

found few that have nvidia gfx m series... the asus G1/C90 and benq S41 but don't have accurate specification so far found on site. not too sure how well the performance with the mentioned laptop =/

Bro this symptoms is definitely not your 8800GTX. It could be your RAMs that is causing the problem.... What is your RAMs try upping the Vdimm could probably solve it

Knew that, that's why I posted up the link.

Macbook Pro FTW!

Ala you, he want gaming laptop la. Haha. If Macbook pro can install Windows XP then its good, I think can be done eh, since using Intel proc now.

EA will be releasing games like Tiberium Wars, NFS Carbon, Battlefield 2142 etc for the Mac platform soon as well. I sense the Mac golden days are coming back.
