mobile GPU equivalent of AMD 4890?

Anyone know what the mobile GPU equivalent of a 4890 or GTX 260 would be?

 

~5870m/gtx 460m/gtx560m

 

Thanks very much!

 

I bet 1 million dlrs this is relevant to the recommended Skyrim pc requirements! mwuahahaha

But yeah, what maestro345 said.

 

Hehe, can't wait to try running it on my 8800m GTS

 

you saw right through me, didn't you?

guilty as charged!

So, if a GTX 260/AMD4890 is "recommended" - does this usually mean that configurations with equivalent hardware can run such a game on Ultra settings at 1920x1080? Or does "recommended" usually correspond to high settings at 1920x1080?

I'm hoping lower clocked versions of the 5870m (such as the 5830m and 5850m) will be able to run the game with mostly high settings at 1080p and still get over 30 fps.

 

The recommended specs released for Skyrim are in order to run it on High settings, not Ultra/Max... still, it's far less demanding than expected!

 

hmm ... will the HD5650 in the sig below be able to offer any sort of enjoyable FPS on decent settings (medium with maybe no shadows) or im gonna have to skip that one ???

EDIT: on a 1366*768 res.

 

Well mine was able to pull off the BF3 beta with mixed medium high settings at native resolution with 2x MSAA.

Looked great at 1366x768, but Dewy, my original point being the mobility 5650 shouldn't disappoint you when you try to run Skyrim, at least with when AMD releases better driver support for it in November and after a performance patch or two (because most AAA games seem to launch as beta's now).

so not only fingers crossed ... lets make that arms crossed

 

only in your dreams. a 5770 (5870m) has the same power as the 4870, not the 4890

So it would need to be more powerful than those gpus, the problem or solution is that the 6970m 6990m, 485m 580m, are 50% more powerful than the last year line up

 

Well the minimum specs for running the game (at 1920x1080 resolution I presume?) are "DirectX 9 compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM"

not really sure, but I suppose the game should still be playable, since your resolution is 1366x768. Perhaps medium settings? What kind of frame rate did you get with Fallout New Vegas or Fallout 3?

 

High @ 1080p.
If you want to run the game at such settings, I would not recommend the 5830m.

 

I've noticed for most games there are some graphics settings that have a massive impact on frame rate for my laptop, such as Anti Aliasing, Water Refracting/Resampling, etc.

And there are others, such as Anisotropic Filtering, Object Fade, etc., that tend to greatly improve visual appearance without reducing fps very much.

I'm hoping I will be able to play around with the settings a bit to get a decent frame rate and great visuals at 1080p.

By way of example, after reducing AA and the water settings, but with AF maxed at 16x, I average over 50fps for Fallout New Vegas at 1080p and the game still looks excellent.

 

The HD4890 and the HD6970M are rather close to each other and over 50% more powerful than your HD5830M.

 

But the 4890 is better than a gtx 260 aswell. It's just a rough estimate

 

Ya thats true. The recommended specs are there for people who don't tinker with their default high settings to reach optimized performance.

I tinker with settings as well, and I was able to squeeze ultra minus ubersampling @ 720p for the witcher 2 out of my rig. I wouldn't be surprised if a 5830m can run the game at high, but for the general public who dont tinker with ini files, its not recommended.

 

To the person trying it on an 8800m gts, run it @ 720p and you should be fine for high settings. My girl's Gateway with 9800m gts runs FO:NV just fine on high and this game's graphics don't really look that demanding to make it unplayable.

 

The thing with FO:NV though is that it's a very graphically undemanding game. I played it with a Quadro FX 3800M (pretty much a higher clocked GeForce GTX 285M and exactly like a desktop 9800 GTX) and it roasted that game even on 1200p. And that card was only average when compared to Nvidia or ATI's desktop cards.

 

Bethesda said yesterday that they have further optimized the engine to run even better than Gamebryo for Oblivion, so Skyrim will likely run even smoother than Fallout 3/NV.

Creation Engine is just a Bethesda mod of Gamebryo engine.

 

it takes a gtx560m or hd5870m to compete with a 240gtx?

 

260, not 240
