Compare 8400 gs/gt to 7900 gt

Hi,

I got a notebook with the nvidia quadro 140m (which is business card between a 8400 gs and 8400 gt) and was wondering about how it would compare to the older 7900 gt graphics card, which I would be quite satisfied with. Should I expect the same performance with all the latest updates, even though it is 128 vs 256?

 

a desktop 7900 gt?

unfortunately the 140m is quite a bit slower than the 7900 gt.

edit:

you can expect the 8400m gs to play games at low resolutions and low/medium settings, while maintaining good framerates.

 

Expect it to perform somewhere between the lines of a Go 7400 and a Go 7600. Sorry, not a 7900GT.

 

the go 7600 performs about as well as a desktop 6600 gt, for comparison. maybe somewhat better. just a general idea.

 

Agreed because it is based on one of those but 64-bit bus (some 7600 128-bit) 7900 GT 150% 200% Faster.

 

so it renders frames in some sort of negative alternate reality?

thats actually pretty sweet that something could be 150-200% slower than something else.

I always thought that you could only be 100% slower than something else, but i never even considered the possibility that you could just go backwards!

I'll assume you meant half as fast

learn percentages! how are we surviving as a society when no one knows percentages?!?!

i am scared.

 

Thanks I think I fixed, Dyslexia is no fun!
