    I'm considering a laptop with a "1GB AMD Radeon(TM) HD 7690M GDDR5 Discrete Graphics(TM)" video card in it. I cannot find any information about how good this card is online. Can anyone give me some idea of this card's gaming performance? Does it come close to the Geforce 560M?

    Thanks ^.^

    It's a rebranded 6770m so just look up infromation about the 6770m. Should be much easier.

    And no, it's not going to be close to a 560m but it should still be a decent performer.

    560m scores 1.8k from 3dmark 11
    7690m scores 1.2k from 3dmark 11

    Yes, it is pretty much a slightly overclocked 6770m. I have one, I can play Left 4 Dead 2 on max, Civ 5 on High.

    It can handle modern games on medium/high and demanding games like Battlefield 3 probably on low.

    So,
    Between:
    HP Pavilion DV7-6c06ev with AMD Radeon HD 7690M XT (GDDR5 2 GB)
    and
    Dell XPS 17 (L702X) with nVidia GeForce GT 555M (3GB)
    What should i choose as best for fps games like BF3 ?
    The HP has 1600x900 resolution and the Dell has 1920x1080.
    I think that HP will have more fps cause resolution.
    :confused:

    They are pretty much similar in terms of performance power at the same settings. You are correct in your assumption about the native resolution though. Personally I'd prefer a Full HD screen on a 17 inch model.

    Go for the one with the better screen. You can always game at a lower resolution. When doing anything other than gaming, you'll really appreciate the extra real estate of the larger screen and the higher quality of it.

    With current drivers, a stock GTX 460M should score 7400-7500 on the Vantage GPU.

    The XT isn't accomplishing anything the 6770M wasn't already, anyway.

    My 560M gets 15k on stock clocks 3D06, NBC must be really off to have a 460M that low.

    Hmmm, I wonder if 7690M and 7690M XT are set to the same clocks, would they perform identically?

    Your results seem to be generated at a resolution of 1280x768. Please run at 1280x1024 if possible for a real comparison.

    To OP, AMD HD 7690M non-XT, as in the variant found in the HP ENVY 15 has 480 shaders and clocks at 600 core/800 GDDR5 memory (3200MHz effective). It is a rehashed HD 6750M GDDR5 still at 40nm. At stock clocks the HD 7690M scores 9500-9600 3DMark06.

    9524 3DMarks
    Generic VGA video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2670QM Processor,Hewlett-Packard 1688 score: 9524 3DMarks

    You may however, OC it to 800/1000 easily. YMMV.

    I don't think he'll be able to with default demo benchmark software. My Y470 defaults to 1280x1024(768, 720) on Performance settings in different benchmarks because of 16:9, my Sager always defaults to 1280x1024 because of 16:10.

    With 16:9 screens, the only resolution of LCD which allows default Vantage runs is 1920x1080.

    The answer is yes. It's already been proven that they're the exact same card. There's absolutely no difference.

    Why I say so?

    He changed the resolution before benchmarking. The popup dialog shows that. No resolution was mentioned to make the results comparable. If one comes in and because of the high results (it is really high scores) determines 6770M/7690M XT has superior performance, NBR will be doing a disfavour to that person.

    He has the full version of 3DM06, otherwise results will be shown online.

    Ah, I see, you have very good attention to detail and that is a fair point. I'd also second a request to have Vantage scores redone in 1280x1024 with basic performance options for a fair comparison.

    Could you guys OC to the same clocks and compare Vantage performance of XT and non XT just to reinforce Kevin's point? I'm only referring to GPU score in Vantage obviously.

    Awesome, thanks Etiko. Could you do the same for Vantage please?

    yknyong1, could Envy 15 have a stable overclock at 900/1000 for a comparison?

    Max 800/1000. Limited by no voltage adjustment possible.

    Anyway, the scores are very similar at 725/800, which indicate they are the same chip.

    7690M non-XT -1.00V
    7690M XT -1.05V as said by HP owners

    9500 in your case and 10800 in his case on stock in 3dMark06. That's almost 14% difference, which seems strange to me.

    Could you also run Vantage in 725/800 and post it here?

    By the way, one of the forum members have just recieved Y470P with 7690M and is in the process of testing it.

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    That's his GPU-Z that shows DDR3 memory, 32 bit and 4 ROP. Seems really strange to me. Then later GPU-Z showed 128 bit and 16 ROP. Will repost here as soon as he gets some scores.

    Wow 7690m is pretty much identical to the 6750m:

    [​IMG]

    I thought it had a significantly faster clock, like 725 / 900 vs 600 / 800 for stock 6750m. My GPUz shows my overclocked one though.

    you have 2 big diferences for me!
    1º The cpu, in my option The i7 its better than a Amd A8, but you are able to see results of this cpu's
    2º the gpu, I dont think its really needed the 2gb gpu , i think only need memory for the high resolutions, we dont know the future of gaming lol, so its more good business pay more for this 2 things, cpu and gpu

    The 7690M is a rehashed 6750M.
    Likewise, the 7690M XT is a rebranded 6770M.

    This reflects badly on AMD ethic. NVIDIA is worse though with their 9000, 100, 300 mobile series rehashes.

    if it has same chip how its possible have almost the double of unified ? and less rops.

    and another thing different i found it could be may vary the Rops and unified shader, did you see the speed of PCI express? Our its 2.0 x 8x, the lenovo is 1.1x16, maybe DDr3 its a limitation of PCI no? :confused:

    The MXM 6770M at 725/900 still holds the crown then.

    Also ignore GPU-Z guys, it's totally confused. Bus width, memory type and ROPs are all messed up.

    yknyong1, I did misunderstand, I thought that 7690M had the same clocks on stock. Now that you OCed and got pretty much identical score to XT, we can say that those cards in Envy 17 and HP DV6 are identical in performance. I'm still not convinced about Y470p.

    Generic VGA video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2670QM Processor,LENOVO Base Board Product Name score: P5707 3DMarks

    That's his Vantage score on stock clocks for Y470P owner. Would love to see the stock score in Vantage for Envy 15 as well for a comparison. I want to make sure it's the same GPU. Could you run vantage on stock pretty please?

    The graphics score can't be compared because like yknyong1 said, 7690M defaults to 600/800. So I'd need him to run vantage, unless you can downclock your card :)

    I don't understand how such discrepancy is possible. Your score is lower than my GT 550M on stock settings with i5 processor (4700). Perhaps there is a driver issue, it doesn't seem right. Maybe Envy is overheating and throttling? It's a shame we won't find out until you get a replacement.

    maybe you dont know but for hp last series peforms 100% its needed to manage coolsense to optimal peformance. if you have coolsense 2.0 i sugest you to dowgrade the version because the lastest ver. only have on and off ,also instal the lastest drivers from. 19.11.2011 from hp or the 12.2 previw from guru3d.
    some mobos on hp are very faulty this is the second notebook i have, the previous one didnt performe so well as it.
