    i was only trying to show that people who are now so eagerly changing their 8700's into 7950's, that the 8700gt is not SO bad as many people want to believe.

    As I will become an owner of a Toshi Satellite X200 with a GeForce 8700M GT, I hope so...

    this was posted before, about a month or more ago.

    btw, the 7950 isn't THAT much faster than the 8700GT even in current DX9 games.

    oh yes it is -.- . Last I heard 8700 was pulling 45 FPS in F.E.A.R on max (1440x900) while the 7950gtx was pulling like 80 or so.

    that guy is a little too enthusiastic about it.

    i think the ut3 head guy was more like "its a good incremental step"
