GeForce 8600M GS vs GeForce 8600M GT

hey man.......i'm not an expert on laptops and stuff........so my question follows:

nVidia web site shows da following, and just lookin @ da numbers, da 8600GS seems better than da 8600GT in da core clock and shader clock.......so does dat mean 8600GS is better/faster? but then how come pplz say da 8600GT is better?

GeForce 8600M GS GeForce 8600M GT
Stream Processors 16 32
Core Clock (MHz) 600 475
Shader Clock (MHz) 1200 950
Memory Clock (MHz) 700 700
Maximum Memory 512MB 512MB
Memory Interface 128-bit 128-bit

 

Stream Processors 16 32

Twice as many stream processers makes the 8600M-GT a much faster card, regardless of the clock speeds.

 

o....thx alot man.......did notice dat ......hehe

 

trust me - i owned both of these video cards and the GT makes a huge difference in fluid gameplay. i am using the 8700m GT right now and its great, but definitely go with the GT -- way faster

 

will overclocking 8600M GS be able to match 8600M GT or never?

 

nope....the GT is much faster, and can be overclocked alot too

 

meh_cd this isn't a forum to insult people in. Take it somewhere else.

 

Overclocking the GS won't bring it up to the GT because of the difference in stream processors.


O and, if you do get the GT, it may be best to get one that is DDR3 and not DDR2, as the 3 will perform better.

 

at least you can overclock GS until it's the same as stock GT

 

Way off topic, but what? 8700m GT? What notebook are you using?
