    The 9800m gs will preform better.

    The 8800M gts is the equivalent of a 9700M GTS.

    9800M GS > 9700M GTS = 8800GTS

    Sorry, even though I have the 9700M GTS it is NOT equal to the 8800M GTS. The 8800M GTS is EQUAL to the 9800M GT which is just a tad better than the 9800M GS, which is a tad better than the 9700M GTS. Hope this helps. God Bless :)

    what are the clocks on the 9800m GS? the 9800m GT is equal to a 8800m gtx not gts. i know the 9800m gts is the same card as the 8800m gts just clocked higher.

    no... 8800M GTX = 9800M GT, which is slightly better than 9800M GTS, which is better than 9800M GS. 9700M GTS is slightly worse than 9800M GTS and is basically comparable to 9800M GS. I don't know where 8800M GTS fits into this equation but I'm assuming it's similar to the 9800M GS and 9700M GTS. In the end I think 9800M GT ~ 9800M GTS > 9800M GS >~ 9700M GTS >~ 8800M GTS

    yeah um no.
    ur both wrong :p

    9800mgt = 8800m GTX
    9800m GTS = 8800m GTS

    9800m GT>9800m GTS>9800m GS

    9800m GT is like 15-30% better 9800m GTS.
    9800m GTS is like 2-5% than 9800m GS.

    So, to answer you question, you wouldnt see tat much diff, cus a 9800m GS is basically a uc'ed 9800m GTS.

    Actually, 9800M GT > 9800M GTS > 9800M GS > 8800M GTS > 9700M GTS. For full details, refer to the link in my sig. :)

    Pulled directly from Chaz's graphics card sticky:

    8800GTS is better than the 9800GS, but I don't think by much.

    i would think the 9800m gs would be a little bit ahead of the 8800m gts because of the clocks.

    From here:

    Both have 64 shaders and 256-bit bandwidth. Clocks same for memory, core and shader differ:

    9800M GS - 530MHz core, 1325MHz shader
    8800M GTS - 500MHz core, 1250MHz shader

    9800M GS is faster. I've tried to compile GPU-Z shots from people who actually own the GPUs so the data should be accurate. I don't believe in the other benchmarks since different components can affect the score.

    Well according to clock speeds, the 9800M GS is better, but probably by 2-5% only which isn't much.

    So it's basically the same. Both will struggle with crysis.

    Yeah 8800m gts is a 9800m gts, which means that is is better than the 9800m gs.

    o_O' how is a 8800m gts better than a 9800m gs when they both use the same hardware and the 9800m gs has higher clocks?

    guys the 8000 series is over now lol time to move one. i dont mean that in a hating way as well, i mean i have a 8000 card AND a 9000 card. Soon you will only find used 8000 series cards its time we all move to the future not to the past :D the funny thing is GTX280 will eventually come and 9000 series will be obsolete oh well welcome to the world of PC's.

    +1 9800m gs

    >.> it is relevant though, the OP is probably comparing the asus g50vt to a used 686x model. If it came down to a price comparison, say like a 800$ gateway vs a 1300$ asus I would pick the gateway.

    Though the op should have just asked for a comparison of the entire laptops instead of just the gpu's.

    nah. i did my research beforehand, and i knew what was better at what between the g50vt-x2 and the 6860. There hasn't really been a good comparison between the 8800m gts and 9800m gs, and with the wierd structure of the 9800 suffix, that was really the only question I had in my mind. It didn't matter, I ended up buying a 6860 off of eBay for $660 with my 10% off coupon :p

    Yeah like WysockiSauce said, get the 6860fx, its a great price performance ratio and you should be uber pleased with it.

    If you like i can post a youtube vid of my 6860fx in crysis.
