How well does the 9800M GS run Crysis???

i know that my desktop 8800GTS 320mb can handle medium settings at 1680x1050 but laggy in lot of the heavier scenes.... is the 9800m GS the same way? or is it a little slower than the 8800gts?

 

Well, have a look at the graph at the bottom of this page.

The GS is slightly less powerful than the GTS but quite a bit more powerful than the 9700 GTS, so I guess it to be 66% between the two.
I dont think you can get too much more accurate

 

he is comparing t with desktop 8800gts

from nvidia

GeForce
8800 GTS 500 1200 800
640MB or 320MB
320-bit

the 9800mgs is 256bit

for me i tried warhead at gamer its really playable

at lower you can play at 1680 with smooth frame rate

dont worry

 

9800m-gs isn't even close to (desktop) 8800 gts in terms of performance.

 

You cant compare desktop to laptop performance mate.

 

you mean that the 9800M GS is much slower?

 

compared to the desktop yes it will be I expect. Notebooks arent really the best platform for gaming...

 

sadly its true. but they sure are fun to have i think it might still run medium -lowish on 1280

 

that slow? u sure?

 

It wont run badly at all...
On my laptop with
C2D 2.2 CPU
2GM RAM
HD 2600 512MB GPU ( Really bad, I know)

I can run Crysis 1280x900 with mostly medium...
9800GS will very easily double that performance...

 

Yea, laptop cards are always going to be down a little bit in power. Worth it for me in terms of portability though. I'm often traveling to small LAN games, and it's easier than packing a desktop. I like being able to go anywhere and play Crysis on High at 30FPS =P

 

the original poster is comparing it to desktop card not me!!

check his post again

anyway why even compare

9800mGS is portable

but you cant take your desktop anywhere you know...lol

portable stuf ftw!!

 

just installed warhead yesterday to see how it ran. It runs ok, bit of a stutter here and there but at med high settings it runs really good and looks great.

 

From what I've read the 9800m GS is slightly less powerful than a desktop 9600 GT. Laptop cards of any sort are no match for desktop cards because of power and thermal limitations.

 

I ran Crysis at 1680 x1050 and put everything on high. When I got to some serious action parts I was getting SLOW framerates and had to bring some things downs. Shadows to medium and brought some setting down to medium and I finally got it to run good with a couple settings still on high. If naything I think the 9800 GS can handle quite nicely.

 

that is way optimistic compared to what others are saying.... what laptop do you have?

 

This baby can run crysis alright. I have run all medium at 1920x1080 at playable fps. I normally play all high except shadows and objects at medium at native (1366x768) at very playable fps, avg near 30fps. lowest I get is around 20 or so fps and usually stays well even in large battles. If you want more consistent performance you can play all medium quite well.

 

Sure you can

The Desktop's GTS has 12% better Pixel fill rate, but the Laptop's GS has a 33% better texture fill rate.

 

yes, you can play Crysis on a 9800M GS.

I have the Asus G71G-A2 with the 9800 GS and it runs fine at 1920x1200 at medium settings (Crysis decided this when I hit Optimize in the settings). The graphics look sweet at that resolution.

 

wow, thats right on par with the 8800 GTS 320mb....
