GeForce Go 7950 GTX vs. GeForece Go 7900 GTX

Alright, I'm either buying a Sager 5760 Laptop that has the GeForce Go 7950 GTX 512MB Ram in it OR a Toshiba Satellite P100-ST9742 that has a GeForce Go 7900 GTX 512MB Ram.

I'm kind of leaning towards the Toshiba since it is a name brand, but didn't know if I would really be compromising on gaming since it has a slightly older card.

I want to be able to play Half Life 2, HL2 EP1 + EP2, Oblivion, and other DirectX 9 games at their highest settings smoothly.

So which laptop should I buy? Is the Go 7950 GTX really all that better or can I live fine with what I want to do with the Go 7900 GTX.

Thanks.


Also which is better for gaming glossy cover OR non-glossy covers?

 

uh sorry guys, wrong forum. i literally just signed up. =[

i'll move this...

 

The nVidia GeForce 7950 is the faster Mobile GPU avaliable without going into SLI or Crossfire.

Personally, I would save the money and go for the Toshiba. Spending the saved money on more RAM would be a more beneficial upgrade. But do remember that GPUs in notebooks are not upgradable, so your stuck with what you have.

Sager is in fact a very good brand, better than Toshiba in my opinion. If the price difference is less than $150, then buy the Sager. When spending $1500, it's best to have a notebook thats fantastic in every way.

 

all of the specs in the toshiba and the sager would be exactly the same in the models i've found and customized.

they would have a:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.00Ghz processor
2Gb of RAM
100GB Hard Drive (7200 rpm)
17in 1680 X 1050 LCD screen
the Toshiba's screen in glossy
the Sager's screen is matte
anyway everything else other than screen and graphics card is the same.
the only thing that scares me with the sager is the weight maybe (since it weighs 2.5 lbs more than the Toshiba), being too loud from the fans, and getting a dead pixel or something.
