    Hi
    Ok, today I got Toshiba X200 for tests. I was sure that this laptop comes with 8700GT which already makes my heart beats faster. BUT just take a look at what I see...

    Is it possible that this card inside is in fact 8800GS or just 4 independant programs (including Device Manager) are wrong?!

    Curious.

    I don't know, maybe 8800M GS was an internal name for the card before they decided on 8700M GT?

    Take a look at the pipelines in Rivatuner. What are the clock speeds?

    It was suppose to carry the 8800 GS name but Nvidia (knowingly) downgraded it to a 8700M GT due to the fact that it doesn't have the guts to carry the top end 8800 name. I know this becoz they mailed me :D
