can you play Grid with 60 fps ? can use SLi to play? change the SLI setting to Force alternate Frame rendering 2
*
60fps from mobile card is very demanding... lowest setting perhaps??? anything more than 30 is already good enough

SLI can work in grid, but not CrossFire though...

Can anybody tell me which brands supply the Ati mobile 3670 graphics card since i'm looking to buy a budget gaming laptop with that particular card.

I was looking to buy the asus f series but it comes with only the ATI 3650 which i am afraid will not be powerful enough to play games like Fallout 3 at medium to high settings.

Plus i heard that the nvidia 9500 mobile card has some issues with realiability and thats put me off getting an nvidia card but i see most laptop companies provide either the 9500 or 9600 whereas ati offers the 3650 but i cant seem to find the 3670 which has much better perfromance.
*
main difference between 3650 and 3670 are clock speed...

overclock the 3650 and u get a 3670...

as for 9500 and 9600, they are all based on the same architecture, ie the NB9P GPU, 32SP, 128-bits, performance is roughly the same...

however, Nvidia do have better support for games...

Unfortunately its abit of a hassle to buy a desktop since i currently renting and it would be a pain to move a desktop whenever i want to move house or when i go overseas for work.
*
in that case a desktop replacement should be wat u re looking for...

Dell XPS M1730 with 8800M GTX SLI perhaps??

i know it's Nvidia, but currently for Centrino platform, it's still dominated by Nvidia when it comes to graphic...

it will take some time for AMD Puma and ATi XGP to take off

I wont be bringing my laptop to starbucks unless i'm overseas and thats just for checking my mail and doing my reports. But i want the convenience of being able to play games on the go and i will not rely solely on the laptop battery for gaming purposes.

I am not looking for the best performance laptop, just one which will suite my needs for being portable but istill be able to play games at reasonbale frame rate and i will not be lugging it around coffee shops.

I know a desktop is a much cheaper and has better performance but my job requires me to move around and stay at one site for maybe weeks at a time and it would be a waste that i have a gaming machine which is collecting dust at my room when i'm overseas.

hmm, if it's really like this, isn't Asus's F8 with HD3650 wat u re looking for??

good mobility with acceptable graphic performance

Reference:
HD3650 - http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-...650.8839.0.html
HD3670 - http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-...670.9595.0.html

this site rated the cards, by perfromance, in the following order:

HD3670 > 9600M GS > 9500M GS > HD3650 > 8600M GT

From what some ppl have said, the HD3670 is just a overclocked HD3650. So theoretically i could get the same performance from a 3650 to a 3670 just by overclocking it.

I currently split between nvidia and ati since nvidia cards are getting the bad rap of being less reliable but may have a slight performance boost over the ati cards.

For laptop i prefer reliability

This is my laptop specifications:

Acer aspire 4920
Intel core 2 duo, 1.8GHZ, 667MHZ, 1.8MB L2
2.5Gb ram
Intel graphic mobile accelerator X3100(up to 358mb graphic memory)

I was addicted to the game Crysis while playing on my friends pc and now
i cannot play in my laptop, saying that "graphic card is not supported"

Is there any way that i can do to allow me play crysis on my laptop?
Thanks notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif
*
nope except for getting a new laptop...

GMA X3100 is an integrated graphic card, or in another word, lousy...

only sufficient for Aero and normal day-to-day work and some old games...

and unlike desktops, u cannot upgrade it...

Crysis is a freakingly high requirement game that it literally pwned all graphic cards in the world when it was first released...

if u want everything in max settings with min 30fps, u'll need a desktop 9800GX2, GTX260 or HD4870 to do so...

thus u can imagine how it will pwn all mobile graphic cards as well...

SG$2560 comes with:

Core 2 Duo P8600
9650M GT 512MB GDDR3
15.4" LCD 1280x800
DDR2 800 1GB x2

http://mucro.asia/index.php/vmchk/Zepto-No...l-products.html

u can also choose to go OS-less, HDD-less and RAM-less and buy them urself...

but i heard that if u want 9650M, u'll need to wait till Sep or Oct...

I know that a HD3650 can play oblivion at 1280x800 at high settings at around 30 fps. Since fallout 3 should be around those requirement, it wouldn't be far fetched.

Isnt there little diff in terms of 3d performance between the 9600GT and the 9650GT compared to the diff between cost of those 2 cards?
*
on 3D Mark 06, abt 1000pts different... but they re also SG$100 different...

and 9650M is a 55nm GPU (9600M is 65nm), so by rit it should be cooler too...

CS:S is not a very demanding game in terms of graphic... so any graphic card can handle it well

i c..thanks for the heads up but i tried it on normal specs laptop tht runs with intel graphic accelerator.. the whole game just jerks.

i currently have an eye for compaq..any idea how good izit?

even if they have a nvidia or ati graphic card..does tht mean i can play games like COD too??
*
hmm, i tried playing CS:S on my old laptop with a GMA900, and i can maintain >20fps most of the time... that's y i said most graphic card should be able to handle it...

for COD (COD4 rit??), u can definitely play it... but depending on the power of the card, u will have to tweak the video settings to get better frame rate... some ppl with Nvidia integrated graphic said that they can play it at acceptable frame rate too...

Yes it is your post. Our site actually monitors our visitors from the source of every click. So its interesting to find out what is going on outside of Singapore. Where did you find out about Zepto in Asia. We're actually the Asian rep so we'll be looking out for Malaysian partners. If you know any reputable Malaysian Repair Centres and retail partners please let us know. We were wondering about "Vital Computers" but they didn't strike me too much.

Our natural expansion plan is, of course, Malaysia. It makes it easier on the deliveries.

hmm... perhaps me being a S'porean explains everything?? biggrin.gif

well, more choices is always better, and Zepto is definetely one of the few in the top of my own list for gaming laptops... read quite a lot of good reviews abt their products in overseas sites...

too bad Zepto didn't come to SG until recently, else i may have grabbed one of their laptops...

Nvidia and ATi...

Nvidia is indeed the more reputable brand, and have better driver and games support compared to ATi...

however, Nvidia is bugged by quite a number of problems lately... scroll around the threads and u'll see users complaining abt their G84M and G86M GPU, which breaks down easily...

ATi, on the other hand, has very strong integrated graphic (Radeon HD 3200), which is currently one of the best in the market... but there's more that ATi can offer later...
