Geforce Go 7200 vs Radeon HD4330

im just asking this because i might be getting a new lappy (darn my current one's GPU). The title says it all i guess.

 

The performance difference is huge. First of all you're comparing a low end GPU from 2006 to a card released in 2009 which is 3 generations ahead. Second thing to take into account is that the Geforce Go 7200 a DirectX9 card while the Radeon Mobility HD 4330 is a DirectX 10.1 GPU. The ATi card will be at least 4 times more powerful.

 

thx for the fast reply, camembert =p

but whoa..i didn't know that there was that much difference. thx for telling me that

 

but still the HD 4330 is crap.... even my 9600M GT owns it and the 9600M GT is a directx 10 card...

 

Try to consider the fact that they have two completely different uses. You trying to compare a 9600GT to an HD 4330 is tantamount to me comparing a 9800mGS to your 9600GT.

Not everyone needs a mid range GPU or better to play the games they want.

 

umm...that raises an interesting question sean473 (btw thx for the patience with all my stupid posts)...how good would the HD4330 and the 9600 be? just to get some bearing, lets say performance of COD4.

 

the 9600gt will probably be 50% more powerful

 

well according to notebookcheck.net , 9600M GT is 2 times more powerful.. firstly because it has a 128 bit bus opposed to the 64bit one in 4330 and also it has more shaders(2 times as many). Now for whatever laptop your getting, if u give us more info , we could help you get a way better one for that price so some info and the laptop ur getting would help....

 

Geforce is the greatest ever! Radeon is air compared with Geforce.

 

You can't really compare performance between Nvidia's architecture and ATI's architecture based on the memory bus and layout of the core. Heck, you can't really do it between different ATI or Nvidia cards themselves. I agree though that the 9600M GT is a lot better. The 4330, even the ones with GDDR3, will struggle to play current games at 1366x768 even at complete minimum setttings.

 

You are comparing a low-end card to a mid range card of course the mid range is card much better

The HD4330 is basically a massive underclocked HD4570. The HD4330 is better than all of the low-end cards like the HD3450, HD3470, the Geforce 9300GS. Even though it cant run Crysis on medium settings nor GTAIV so good but it will play every game out there if its not too demanding like Crysis and GTAIV

 

I would get the Ati card if were you, dont pay to much attention to sean hes taunting you with his card .But ati is releasing dx11 cards soon so i would wait maybe nvidia will do the same, who knows.

 

well everyone get your facts right.. Firstly the 4330 is not an underclocked 4570... it doesn't even have the same amount of shaders as 4570... Secondly i'm not taunting anyone and its rude to but in without any constructive suggestion nightmear so plz stay off if you have nothing good to say.. ur actually more irritating than igrim.. Thirdly, i'm not gonna say that ATI sucks or NVDIA sucks.. my point is get the one which is better in the laptop which has $X price..

 

Here we go again.

They are actually the exact same thing but run at different clock speeds. Both use the same core, the RV710, go by the same code name, the M92, and share identical specifications other than clock speeds.

I really don't know where you get your information.

 

ah...im intending to get an MSI X610...just for some light gaming, and very very light, i assure you (even an budget ATI Radeon X1550 desktop card suffices kind of power).

 

um...what?

Some GeForce cards are better than Radeons and some Radeons are better than Geforces...

..but even if you were going to name one line the winner, it would probably be Radeon right now...seeing as they have the most powerful GPU on the market by far in the 5870

 

You can compare Radeon HD4330 to 9400M G their specs are similar along with the performance.

 

The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330, like Nvidia Geforce Go 7200 is a "discrete" graphic solution.
You cant expect gaming preformance from it.

But the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 got Avivo HD, so if you download a codec pack with Media Player Classic - Home Cinema it will decode the movie with the GPU.
The Nvidia Geforce Go 7200 cant do that since its a Dx9.0c card.
(The Nvidia Dx10 cards got Purevideo HD, and its a similar solution to AMD's Avivo HD.)

So my opinion is, any card other than ATI's Dx9.0c and lower should be good.
Reason for that is because AMD moved non Dx10 cards to legacy support, so no Windows 7 driver support unless you use the drivers from Microsoft.

 

Sorry i got mixed up about the 2 cards...
