    So how much better is the GTX 8800 than the 9800GT? Here they sell a laptop with these cards in a 15 inch laptop but u have to choose which 1 u want. The thing is that the 8800 is almost 500 bucks more expensive than the 9800. Is the 8800 that much stronger?

    NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800M GT 512MB DDR3
    NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800M GTX 512MB DDR3

    Also i can choose from a:

    15.4" Widescreen WXGA 1280x800 blank skjerm (glare)
    15.4" Widescreen WSXGA+ 1680x1050 blank skjerm (glare) [+681,-]
    15.4" Widescreen WUXGA 1920x1200 blank skjerm (glare) [+1829,-]

    What would u guy go with? I would either go with 1280x800 (so i can run all games on native with max details) or 1920x1200 cuz that downscales better than the 1680x1050.

    Anyway the main question is about the grapic cards? Anyone seen any bench marks for the 9800 GT?

    the 9800M GT is slightly faster than 8800M GTX. about 1-2 fps in Crysis.
