    Hi

    I dont know if you know....But anyway, its confirmed that the Upcoming acer 8920Gem GFX card (9650mGS) has dedicated 512MB GDDR3 of vram

    As shown:

    Also as you can see the 9500mGS has dedicated 512MB of GDDR2 ram,

    Now, about the 9650mGS i think its gonna be much better than the current 8600mGT, i think maybe better than the 8700mGT, nobody knows it might be same as the 8800mGTS or better, that what i think...

    Dont forget its 9m series,

    You all know 8m series was much better than the 7m series (same classes)

    What do YOU think??

    Also the new acer laptop looks really cooool, cant wait to get one of them!

    (Note: the source is acer site -acer.com- then click on the new gemstone blue adv and go to specs of 8920G)

    End of report.....

    It seems to be a Die-shrinked 8700GT. The specs are exactly the same. Performance will likely be the same or just a tad better (see 9500m GS vs 8600m GT).

    Hmm.... a 9650m GS (~8700M GT) inside a 18.4" notebook. I was looking for something smaller.. :/

    the 9 series is the 8 series die shrinked, which allows them to fit more VRAM on the board, but more VRAM is useless if you can't use it effectively. Kind of strange that they'd name it the 9650, when its really just a step up from the 8700, or maybe they just thought the 8700 was a bad name choice.
