    I know only 7800 GTX far more superior than 7800 (both are GO version, for laptop) however, I do not know how far of those different in this way.

    Quick question please..
    Dell Inspiron E1705 offer only Go 7800 but not GTX one. In this case, I want to know that Go 7800 can handle Far Cry and Fear with Full Setting please?

    anyone who owns Go 7800 please tell me the optimum resolution and FSAA setting that you can play modern game look neat (frame rate should more than 35 fps at all time.)

    I do search over the google but I found only review for GTX.

    GO 7800 GTX can handle FEAR at 1200 x 900 with 4x FSAA without any problem. (the framerate around 40 fps.) However, I want the detail of non-GTX version, too.

    anybody could help me please?

    I have an E1705 with the following specs:

    256mb Go 7800
    100 gig HD
    2 gig RAM

    I run FEAR and Battlefield 2 at max resolutions and max settings, x2 AA. My card is overclocked to 380/860....Dell SEVERELY underclocks their cards though, so these specs aren't true overclocking...but it definately helps. With AA on, I generaly average about 50 fps in FEAR. Also, I ran a 3dMark05 on my system yesterday and scored a 5503, which is fairly decent....stock XPS machines get about 6500...

    Does the GF Go 6800 Ultra have anything on the Go 7800 (plain), or is the Go 7800 in every way better than the Go 6800 Ultra?

    Actually that link is for desktop boards, check this link for laptop cards...

    Chief difference being 16 vs 24 shader design. the Go is clocked slower but is fairly overclockable, also apparantly the standard Go has been confirmed as using the same GDDR3 memory as the GTX.
