    Will 9600m GT available to sub $1000 laptops?
    I just saw zepto selling notebook with 9600m GT(start at 1550-200 coupon)

    Just saw asus m50sv with T9300 and 9500m for $999.
    also can notebooks with T series cpu replace cpu with P series?

    Thank you.

    Sub $1000? Doubt it.

    Which Zepto is it?

    There are more manufacturers with a 9600M GT in their notebook, but the 9600M GT in the Zepto has DDR3.

    hi there

    I found a 9600M-GT in the 15" Acer Aspire 5930G here in germany, I guess its on sale in the US / UK as well. At least soon. Best price / gaming vlaue at the moment, laptops start from 900 Euros with 9600GT here in Germany.

    You can probably get the dv5t for around $1000 with the 9600m GT ... but I heard that the one in the dv5t is really more like a 9600m GS instead of a GT.

    The closest i seen is dv7t at 999€ (euros not usd) but it's in a shop. You might get it cheaper online.

    Yep, the 9600M GT DDR2 in the HP Dv5t and Dv7 scores around 4500 in 3dmark06, while a 9600M GS found in the ASUS M50Vm scores around 4400 in 3dmark06.

    Will this card be sufficient to play most games on decent settings? Or should I go with the 9700M GT? The 9700M GT is basically the same card with higher clocks so I don't know if this will be a significant enough performance increase for me to pay a few hundreds more.

    That benchmark doesn't work. The 9600M GT/8600M in there have 1024x768 scores while the 2600XT has a 1280x1024 score.

    I was just looking through notebookjournal for resolutions. Couldn't find any though. Where did you see it?

    Heh, a webshop answered me that the HP Pavilion DV7-1070 has GDDR3 memory? :confused: So what does it have?

    I spend so much time here that I know every card's scores lol. The 9700M GT scores ~5,500 at 1280x1024 for instance, so it's impossible that a stock clocked 9600M GT scores 5,700.

    They may not be at 1024x768 (I think they are too low for that), but something's not definitely not right about them. A GDDR3 8600M GT used to score arround 3,800. I don't believe the difference between let's say, a T7500 and a T9300 is big enough for a 500 points difference. 3,300 for a Radeon HD2600 is high too, should be arround 2,900 IIRC.

    EDIT: According to notebookcheck, 5700 is the 1280x800 score, 1280x1024 is 5200.

    All those scores are right for 1280x800 imo.
