    there are the mobile versions there(the ones with and "mobility" in front) as well. For instance a mobility 5870 is comparable to a desktop 5770, which is about right. Also, dont take that list for granted as cards can differ from model to model and that list also doesnt take overclock potential, but yeah its roughly a base, If u wanna compare cards, ur better off making a comparison at anandtechs database, or just googling urself(toms hardware is not the most reliable sorce)

    but the higher end cards like 4xx series has no mobility indication, i was wondering if they could include high end mobility cards from ati and nvidia

    And Notebookcheck as always are wrong and morons.

    Anyways, even if you want to use that chart, restrict to Vantage GPU scores. Why would they rank GPUs with scores that are heavily based on CPU benchmarking? Don't know, but that's why Notebookcheck are morons.

    And then there is 3DMark 11 and getting results from actual users is better than from a bunch of monkey morons @ Notebookcheck also: http://forum.notebookreview.com/gaming-software-graphics-cards/538904-3dmark-11-a.html

    Maybe they were just lazy. It isn't too hard to figure out for yourself though.

    I think they are. Compare the specs of them on wikipedia to see for yourself. If they are similar, then yes, the mobile cards are thrown in there with the same scaling as the rest of them. Also note that the list is not quite exact and only a rough guide.

    Their mobile rankings seem very off.
