Meaker's Notebook graphics charts.

The 8600 GT beats the crap out of the 6800 GO. The 6800 is 2 generations old. the 8600 GT is this generation.

 

The 8600 is much better yes, it features DX10 and the core is much more efficiant, IE will be able to fit in a smaller laptop too =)

 

Unfortunately, it's not 128-bit GC.

Updated..... Do people still want me to update this list?

 

Some errors that should be corrected if you're going to update;

First of all get rid of the 'useful' tags, they're assumptions/myths.

GTX is 16 ROPs, unless there's a new architecture that changes the memory ratios.

HD2600 series is 4 ROPs or technically 1 ROP with 4 components.

Both of those are 8 ROPs.

Actually going for equivalents;
FireGL V5600 = HD2600XT
FireGL V3600 = HD2600

 

Useful memory is not a myth, eg an 8400 is never going to use 512mb of ram.

 

I understand you're part of the faithful who believe the myth, but where's your proof (especially of this mythical 'useful difference between the GF8600/8700 or HD2600XT and plain HD2600. If you are so certain of it it should be pretty easy for you to prove, right?

I seems like so many other things around here where someone says the myth and then others repeat it as if it came from the IHVs themselves.

I'm not saying it's going to make a huge difference, but it will affect some apps, and like Vista's Readyboost overall it may be of little impact but it does have it's areas where it is useful. Sure faster and wider bitwidth memory interface can often be more helpful than larger memory and often a solution with larger memory can be weaker than one with less memory, but the 'useful' comment and misconception is simplistic and inaccurate. It would be like a blanket statement saying DX10 not useful on the HD2400/GD8400 & SM3 not useful on the GF series because their cores are too weak to exploit the implementation of features within the superset.

If you're computer myths, why not also say that ATi's drivers suck, and nVidia trades speed for poor Image Quality?

If you're trying to make a list to inform people, stop spreading this piece of disinformation.

 

Yes it was pointless to call the 5200 a DX9 card, yes its useless to put 512mb of ram with a 6200. You see NO benefit at realstic settings. Lets face it 1.1fps vs. 1.2fps is not really going to help anyone. That combined with higher costs/lower clocks....

 

You know, meh I don't care. Obviously other people have taken up the torch and I am glad I could set the ball rolling but that's it for me. Feel free to lock the thread.

 

Can you update it with the 9xxx series?
