Xpress 1150 VS Radeon 9600 PRO

Hi all I have a desktop with Athlon 1800XP, 1GB Ram, Radeon 9600 PRO 256 MB 8X AGP.

I get a minimum of 12 FPS - 58 FPS while playing.
My settings are like
No Shadows
800x600
2X AA + Temporal Antialiasing
2X AF
High Quality textures
NO V Sync
And everything else enabled

when enemies are on the screen I get about 12 and 15 FPS. Empty Corridors I get 60 FPS.

Now my new Laptop which is a DELL vostro 1000 will have
Athlon X2 dual core 1.7GZ
Xpress 1150 256MB hypermemory
2GB DDR 2 RAM in dual channel
Vista Premium

I want to know if my new laptop can match the exact performance of my old desktop PC.

 

please could you post the game that you are referring

 

Surry its DOOM 3

 

Well, Desktop ATi 9600pro is more powerful card then Xpress 1150, plus as i readed before the Xpress 1XXX card serie have poor OpenGL support and DOOM3 is an OpenGL game, so i dont think you will be able to play it with any good FPS even when you will have a much more powerful CPU and more ram then before.

 

hmm

Ok hear this right in far cry I does get about 20FPS with my desktop. On high!

How much FPS would you all say I would get on my new laptop with the same setting?

18FPS?

 

It won't be even close.

 

Far Cry:
around 20 to 35! (800x600)

 

Doom3:
From 20 to 40 (Shadow off)

I had some low peak at 11. (but they are rare)

 

In doom3:
I use:
http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Doom3/FPSConfigs.htm
Best Visual Compromise / FPS Compromise Config

With some minor change; (I rise some effect, and I turn off one effect; when I turn off that single effect, it can give me 5 to 10 fps)

 

hmm amazing how in 2003 the Radeon 9600 pro was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

And today not even a Radeon 9800 PRO can max out Crysis with anything more than 1 FPS.

 

hey thanks for this guide cronos.

Does this site have these same configs for all games?

 

I wouldn't call that amazing. Computer components are obsolete as soon as they are released, and 4 years means lots of advancements.

 

I predict that there will come a time when we will never have to upgrade ever again.

Thats when games look like the real world. Maby a Playstation 9 who knows?

 

Haha, and then we have to upgrade to virtual reality.

 

hahahaha LOL

hmm I wonder if we would be alive by then?
hmm Playstation 9 eh. Thats a long time man.

But yeah is only so much graphics a man will need pretty soon maby by 2020 we will have a 100 Core CPU at 50 GZ
And a Geforce 9800000 GTXXXXXX 1 Terabyte GDDR9 RAM

I think then we would have reached real world graphics then there will be no need for anything more powerfull.

 

Radeon 9600 is no way weaker than the modern integrated graphics. It's just that the new IGPs have better DX/OGL support like SM3.0. One of the reason Crysis is really slow on the 9800 Pro is also because it doesn't have support for SM3.0. It can't run fast what it cannot run .

 

Plus Crysis maxed out is really slow on the GeForce 8800GTX, so expecting anything better than crap out of the 9800 PRO...well, yeah.

But I remember when I first got my Mobility RADEON 9600...it screamed! I could experience the joys of Shader Model 2 for the first time. And I had an amazing 1GB of RAM!

Then 6 months later, the GeForce Go6800 absolutely rocked my world. I could max out everything! That thing was a freaking beast in its day. The GeForce 6 series totally put to shame anything ATI had on the market (a defeat, I might add, ATI has yet to recover from). I also remember how many people thought I was insane for getting 2GB of RAM in a day when Alienwares still started at 512MB. Now 2GB is considered a good minimum for running your OS; if you have "only" 1GB of RAM and Vista, you're considered insane.

Wow. I feel old...and that's only been what? Not quite 3 years? Heck, I still remember getting my 64MB GeForce Ti4200 and thinking that was the best thing since sliced bread. And now I'm waiting for an upgrade to my not-quite-one-year-old 640MB 8800GTS just so I can get above "medium" on the latest game. *sigh*
