Radeon 7500 Vs Laptop GPU

Right now i have a Radeon 7500 in my desktop, im curious to know if these laptop gpus are better than the one in my desktop, like the Intel accel 950 or radeon 200m? which one runs better, because im playing war 3 ft on my desktop and i think it runs fine in my opinion, but im looking for a laptop and curious if its gonna run worse or better? in my computer i got 1gig of ram, 100gb hd and my radeon 7500... thanks

 

The GMA 950 will be worse, the Radeon X200M will be much better.

But keep in mind the X200M is low man on the totem pole as far as notebook graphics are concerned; any one of the modern dedicated graphics parts will deliver substantially improved performance over that 7500.

 

The 7500 better than the 950? Since the 7500 cant do DX9 I think the 950 is better.

 

I'm going to agree with Meaker. I have the Mobility 7500 in my old Latitude C640, and it's weak. With 32MB of vRAM, it's hard trying to find anything to even install since most these days require at least 64MB. Also keep in mind that Vista's Aero will run on GMA 950 but not on the 7500. And as Meaker said, the 7500 is not DX9; GMA 950 is. Although I will say that my MR7500 overclocked rocked the **** out of Call of Duty and Halo before I saw them on my M90.

 

Yeah I agree to, I hink that both will be better than a 7500.

 

Since I had the 7500 myself I'm adding another vote to:

7500<950< X200m

 

Feel free to disagree; I've found the GMA to offer VERY inconsistent performance. Some of you are comparing the Mobility Radeon 7500 to the GMA950 and there IS a difference.

A desktop 7500 will likely have 64MB of dedicated video memory. More than that, it has hardware texture and lighting, a basic feature that the GMA950 still doesn't have and must do in software. Just being DX9 doesn't make it better. The GeForce FX 5200 was a DX9 card, too, you know.

I can get UT2K4 to run playably and smoothly, albeit at low settings, on a 7500. I cannot say the same for the GMA950, which I found to be choppy at any level of settings.

 

The GMA is absolutely bizarre at some games, its not just a case of being simply choppy in UT 2K4, it just keeps jumping from 10fps to 40fps, and back down again - even if you're only doing something like walking in an empty room! It's really strange, and even on ultra low settings its the same as mid-high settings....

 

ati 200m > Intel gma950. The 200m is significantly faster then the Intel counter part. But niether are for gaming.

 

i have a 200m and if your just looking to play warcraft 3 it runs great on high settings but i can also play DoW40K at high settings with no slow down and c&C generals at high no slow downs. For RTS's it's okbut i don't think it will be able to play the newer ones like Company of Heroes but i did get the JTF Demo to run smoothly at Medium settings on my 200m

 

I use a 7500 Mobility in my Laptop... yes, out of date, I know... but I have had my laptop upgraded a substancial amount, aside from the GPU. I can play BF1942, BF Vietnam, UT2K4, Baulders Gate II, and others with grate FPS at 800x600, medium. Not too bad for a 7500 Mobility!
