what will 256MB NVIDA® GeForce? Go 6800 play

what will 256MB NVIDA® GeForce™ Go 6800 play

 

Everything for now.

 

Right, that's one of the best cards on the market, but found in very few notebooks.

 

Thinking of getting a laptop with a Go6800? Go for it if you are a very demanding gamer - that card can handle anything.

 

oh wow. haha anything man.

so far the games installed in my computer are:
Battlefield 2 (high-medium, takes a little bit time to load, but the result is beautiful)
Age of Empires III (full quality - no lag)
NBA Live 06 (full quality - no lag)
Dawn of War/Winter Assault (full quality - no lag)

 

Lets hope things remain this way for at least a year. PLEASE

 

lol i'm hoping too. before a lot of money is going to be wasted x.x haha.

 

did you overclock your card and change drivers or are you using the stock drivers/settings...just curious ...i get my 9300 any day now

 

i'm not sure about other people in this forum, but i dont overclock at all. its unnecesary for this graphics card and i want to be a little precautious so i dont overheat my baby haha. and i updated the drivers to 78.11. i believe there is a higher version out there but i'm not sure where to get it.

 

I just played a ton at Lanwar with mine, games included were UT 2k4, BF2 and Quake4. Yes, no problems at all with Quake 4, including playing multiplayer.

I must say, I'm seriously impressed with my Insperion 9300 for gaming. One other guy in my clan loves it too, he has had no issues with his either.

also, not even running the top video drivers, just Dell's latest release.

 

it's an AMAZING card!!!!...i've played these games on the highest settings with no lag:
-star wars knights of the old republic 2
-advent rising
-fable the lost chapters
-medal of honor pacific assault
-cold fear
-moment of silence
-sims 2 and university expansion
-the demo of fear
-vampire the masquerade:bloodlines
-pariah
-battlefield 2
and a LOT more...trust me...it's a GREAT card!!!!!!!

 

dont know what you did to your 9300 but battlefield 2 and fear at max settings make my 9300 lag (a lot actually)

my 9300 = 2.0ghz/2gb ddr2/go 6800

 

What set of drivers are you using? I have almost the same setup as you (cept with 1.86ghz) and I can run both just fine with high settings. I am using the 81.82 drivers from laptopvideo2go.

 

running fine and smooth is a matter of personal opinion. i can't stand to play games below 60fps myself.

 

i went to the laptopvideo2go website and i saw there were high versions of your driver? how come you are not using those?

 

try the xtreme-g drivers from tweakrus.com. i run the 78.11 with my 6800 and i get 110-120fps avg with unreal tourn 2004

 

I just havent gotten around updating my drivers. I will this weekend probably.

 

its: tweaksrus.com

 

Are the 81.87 drivers v2 on tweaksrus.com different from the 81.87 drivers on laptopvideotogo.com?

 

It is VERY sweet for gaming. The only thing better is the 7800 GTX and that is even harder to find. You won't need to OC a 6800 to play current games at high settings - but I would let the game auto detect settings. You may have to play in a window too because of the high native resolution of your screen.

 

It should make a difference in BF2 and FEAR. The manufacturers select and tweak drivers for stability months before the notebook ships. It is very unlikely that your current driver has been optimized for newer games and that might explain the perfomance.

 

i updated my video driver to 82.10 from laptopvideo2go.. got 3402 on 3dmark05.. but when i tried to play CS:S i got weird lines all over the place. I uninstalled those and downloaded 81.85 xtreme G drivers from tweaksrus.. 3392 on 3dmark05 and everything plays great. Im happy with the xtreme G drivers

EDIT: I am on stock speeds right now and have no plans on o/cing since everything works flawlessly

 

I tried both drivers from tweaksrus and laptopvideo 2 go...and ran 3dmark05...both scores were lower then the 3510 i got with the updated dell driver from the dell website... go figure

 

just dled and installed the newest drivers from dell (as of 11/07). I got a 3393 mark. I like this driver better then the xtreme-g driver because I dont get weird effects in bf2 (for example: the textures on the mountain seem to "morph", in windowed mode the ground was completely black with no texture).

 

i think the 81.40 drivers are the best ones out there...i've tried some of the higher drivers for the 6800 card...and i did not see ANY improvement in quality or performance...im sticking with the 81.40 drivers for now

 

i noticed in a couple of the previous msgs that you guys were running bf2 and fear really high. i have a 1.86, 1gig ram, and the 'go' and cant hardly get 35fps on fear -medium settings- and bf2 freezes and chops a good bit on med-high. anyone tell me whats going on?? i read all this stuff about the card being awesome in the forums and right now i'm a little skeptical... just wondering about my comp is all, just bought it this month too... any advice will be cherished

 

Is the 9300 the only laptop with the 6800?

 

9300's max out with the 6800 go but when you move into the XPS category they have the 6800 go Ultra or the 7800 gtx go. (all 256mb)

 

hopefully the 9300 will get a new video card when dell updates it in the coming month. im wanting a 7 series card...

 

You can always mod your i9300 and stick in a Go7800GTX.

However, that voids your warranty. Check the Dell forum for more information.

 

yeah, i paid for four years of warranty, and i want to keep it.
