7950gtx vs 8600 gt

Hi. I want buy new gaming notebook and dont know wich carb can be better. or any other cards?? I can wait 3-4month max. pls help me. thx I want the best mobil graphic for games thx

 

The 7950GTX should defiantly be more powerful then the 8600m GT. But the 8600m GT will allow you to play as Dx10 level/settings(most new games should still support Dx9.

The 7950GTX is probably the best notebook single GPU right now.

I think the 8700m / 8800m are coming out in a few months so wait for those if you can.

 

I you can wait about 3 months, the nVidia 8700M should be out and maybe even the 8800M, but I believe the release of the last one is based on rumours.

Both of these cards will come in a 17 inch laptop or larger. 15.4 inch laptops are too small to efficiently spread the heat these cards produce. So you will be limited in your portability. But the 8700M looks quite promising, I think.

 

Its apples to oranges.

In terms of pure raw power the 7950 wins, but it also eats more power, takes more space, and only has up to DX9.

So your looking at a slightly limited notebook with a 7950. No DX10 is not a big deal, but the power/heat/space diffrence can be depending.

 

so you dont think that any 15.4" notebooks will be sporting an 8700M ?

 

I am looking for a 17'' inch notebook. portabiliy is not necessary I need it on collage and take with me if go home or out for longer times dont need take it everiday so weight and power is not a problem I am looking for a pure power for next 2-3 years

 

I like the new macbook's what we know it is possible that apple took high-and cards to these notebooks??? or I need to buy dell xps or asus g-series

 

I think the 8700 will be in a 15.4.. infact I think its already announced.. hold on a sec...

Nope this is a 17" one:

check it out tho its got some really killer stats.

 

you might be able to put a 8700m Gt in a Asus C90s.

 

Nope no go for 8700M in Asus C90.

8700M's TDP is 35w

Asus C90 is using MXM-II, which can only handle up to 25w.

 

gophn i see you have an clevo notebook. did you have any problems with it??? or can you tell me something about its quality performance heating customer service etc etc????

 

yep that pretty much means a 8800 will be very limted, you will probably see a low end version of it like a 8800GS that can go in the c90. It will probably have to be based on 65nm instead of the current 80nm used it will allow less heat and energy to be used.

The ATI 2600m fits in there tho, wait around for some benchmarks it could be slightly stronger than the 8600gt, also you would just be abit diffrent than the rest of the masses with the Nvidia card.

 

Well you can go into the Sager/Clevo forum and read the threads about satisfaction, customer service, etc..

As for me, I built my Clevo D900K back in March 2006.
(I built it because I needed to save as much money as possible.. and didnt want to pay rip-off mark from OEMs like Alienware for the same notebook)

It was the first dual core notebook available and also housed a high-end video card... which was what I needed.... massive power on the go.

I decided to get a Clevo notebook because after working with them and other notebooks... I saw and felt the difference between a boutique brand notebook and a plain jane OEM notebook. The build quality is definitely superior (with sturdy hard plastic that feels like a light metal) and the design (thermal and innovation) just gets better and better.

It has served me well. I know that it will easily last me (for gaming and everything else) for at least 2-3 more years... if I dont plan on getting another notebook.

As for customer service.... I can only say this for anyone looking for notebooks:
" A notebook is only as good as the support that you get with it. "

I wrote the Clevo Guide to show the goods and bads of resellers so that the consumers would have a better idea on who to purchase from.

The big OEMs (Dell, HP, Sony, etc..) sadly.. DO NOT have as good as customer service and support (domestically) as the smaller resellers/vendors.

Although the only big OEM that still remains on top for best service and support is none other than APPLE.

When you want to get a notebook, always contact the vendor/reseller to ask questions and see if they meet your requirements for a competent and good seller to purchase from.
