Ati mobility 4570 HD graphics card thread

Hi, I am curious if anyone else has this graphics card, as from what I can tell I'm the ONLY person who has it :\.

just fyi I have a studio 1555

 

Lots of people have it. Notably people with the Studio 1555 and those with the Vaio SR and other notebooks which have it.

If you're interested in benchmarks or what it can run, there's lots of those in the Studio 1555 thread. Scores around roughly 4,100 in 3dmark06.

 

I've got the 256MB flavor of the 4570 in my Studio 1555. It runs CoD4 fantastically at 720p, so I'm quite happy with it. It blows away TF2 and Left 4 Dead as well.

 

Same over here.... 4570 512mb ddr3 CoD4 just perfect! You can find me online with the same name I have here hehehe


Also play Medieval 2 with everything Up to the sky

 

It's a very impressive piece of silicon. Notably it has a new texture unit and ROP design IIRC from the 3xxx series, making it extremely efficient and capable.

 

My only gripe is that Mobility Modder does not work with this card, and I'm stuck with the latest Dell drivers, which date back to November of 2008. >_<

 

I can't find any drivers that work with windows 7... and my performance is TERRIBLE!

Is there anything at all that I can do? That any of you have done?

 

notebookcheck says this is not a very good graphics card, yet according to their benchmarks this card gives over 4000 points in 3dmark 06, which is really really good!

 

The HD4570 is decent enough as long as you don't expect miracles. Since it has GDDR3 memory, it performs quite well despite its 64bit bus size. Just play at modest resolutions(i.e. low ones) and you'll be good ^_^

 

How does this card handles on GTAIV i might pick up a toshiba with this videocard that i saw at bestbuy a very good deal

 

What kinda 3d mark are you getting?

I also see that they have a 4650 available in A500

 

It'll run lol. Their is a youtube of a guy playing GTA4 on a desktop 4330, which the 4570 beats easily despite being a mobile part thanks to the DDR3 VRAM.

 

ok cool i might get it sometime this week before they run out

 

Is there much of a difference between the 256MB and 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 gaming-wise? For the Dell Studio 15, the 512 MB version costs $100 extra. That seems pretty steep.

 

In a nutshell, there's little to no performance difference at all between them.

If you want to know why exactly:
The extra VRAM would mostly come in handy when playing at higher resolutions or for storing more textures or such. Both of these things are above the HD4570's capacities so the extra space is wasted.

 

The extra video memory will help on video memory hungry games like GTAIV but $100 extra on a 512mb HD4570 is a rip off for sure

 

The extra VRAM will make so little difference that I really would struggle to recommend it even if it only cost $50. The fact that it costs twice that on the Studio 1555 makes it an even easier decision to keep with the 256MB version.

With regards to notebookcheck, I'd never base anything on their ranking system. Looking at their benchmarks is sometimes useful though.

To whoever said about the 4650, that is so much better than the 4570; you see the 4650 has a 128bit memory bus, whereby the 4570 only has 64bit. In truth, the 4570 is just a faster clocked 4330, but even that performs very well for a budget card.

You can play high settings in a lot of games, but the graphics intensive ones will need to be dropped down in resolution or quality or sometimes both. Still, you'd be able to actually play Crysis with this card, but it would be low settings + high res or medium res + medium settings. It can go higher, but then you get below 25FPS, which imho is not terribly playable.

 

The HD4570 performs very well for a 64bit bus thanks to the GDDR3 memory though. I mean, I've seen benchmarks and performance equaling the old 8600M GT/HD 2600, which were both 128bit GPUs(albeit 2 generations ago, just saying though).

 

Yes, if you look back here:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=4815743&postcount=57

I posted benchmarks from Crysis on my Inspiron 1545 with the 4330 (same as 4570 but slower clocks), and even that was on a level playing field with the 8600m GT / GS

 

I already tested GTAIV with my laptop with the HD4570 specs are in my sig the game fully playable with shadows, water, reflections quality on high and no lags whatsoever

Its around 4010 more or less... I guess thats fine since Im not a heavy gamer hehe ...

 

That is so cool, I might buy this game lol

 

How does the Mobility HD 4570 perform when it has DDR2 memory?
Much worse than GDDR?

 

duhhh very obvious...

 

Not really, I don't know how much the GDDR3 affects performance.

If it's 10% less performance with DDR2, I don't mind. If it's 20%, I'm getting worried. If it's 30%, I'm not going to get the specific laptop I'm looking at.

 

I agree, it's not obvious at all, don't know quite what Sean473 is going on about, but anyway.....

Which machine do you think comes with GDDR2 instead of GDDR3? I can tell you that the Studio 15 features GDDR3 video RAM.

 

It's an ASUS X5DAB.
It says in the product specifications that the video card has DDR2 memory.

 

Old post I know but has anyone tried Prince of persia with the HD4570? I will be getting 4GB DDR and 256MB on the card with a 2.2 Intel Duo

 

It is kind of funny seeing people say it is good. Even my 4890 had some trouble maxing out some games. Of course I'm in the same boat now with my studio 1555 after having sold the 4890 on ebay. I guess the 4570 could be worse. I thought games would be playable with the 4330 but I was wrong. At least the 4570 can pump out playable framerates in online play in far cry 2, albeit with everything at minimum settings.

 

one thing that i find amazing with thia card is that it is more powerful than the geforce 8600m gt, the gpu which was in the first laptop i have ever owned.

 

I have the ATI 4570 DDR2 also, quite happy with its performance though, Left 4 Dead and PES 09 at max, Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Batman AA all medium high, the only games that is unplayable to me is GTA IV.

 

I made several vids of the HD4570 performance on my laptop its a very good card the funny thing about it that it is a 64-Bit bus as most people here said its terrible for playing games and also gets like 4041 on 3dmarks06
