Comparing GMA950 vs. GeForce Go 7200!!!

I know a lot of people think they both suck but I'm receiving my new latptop with the Go7200 today and I'm returning the one with the GMA950 tomorrow. Since I'm going to have them both together for one day I'm going to do a comparison side-by-side tonight at home. If anybody thinks of something I should do, while I have them both, let me know.
Out.

 

Definitely do a 3dmark05 benchmark on the two. Also, if you could play a couple of games and give us the framerate comparison that would be good as well. Of course, the GMA 950 would have to be playing a game that it is capable of playing to compare. Also, just a bit of information such as what games you have work with the 7200 that don't work with the 950. Good luck with your new lappy!

 

Possibly mobilemeter to see this difference in battery life? Definately 3dMark though!

 

:O my gma 900 plays me wow lol
but 7200 probably lots better ;'[

ive determined my gma 900 is almost as good as my radeon 7000 lol

 

That could be interesting. Intel should control GMA 950 pretty well in term of power saving. But how would Go 7200 perform compare to AMD+6150? Would 7200 playing the same as GMA 950? If that is true, then AMD+6150 is really beaten down.

 

Ok. I received the laptop early today and I have them side-by-side right now.
I'll be adding things in here as I move along with the different tests and when I find differences between the two cards.

1. The nvidia GeForce have many more settings and options to change. The biggest one so far is the 'Digital Vibrance' which dramatically improves the vibrance of the screen and brings colors to life (yes, even more). If I loved the screen before, now even more.

........ working

 

hows the touchpad buttons? since there d ifferent than most and few people myself included thought they felt flimsy and would bring problems in the later future? also is the keyboard the same ones from the older models like the dv5000t cuz i know peoplehad problems with HP keyboards in the past like keys sticking etc. The keyboard is full size with the exception 2 of smaller keys am i correct? with the f keys and right side shift bein smaller a bit?

 

Really looking forward how Auto Dimm works.

 

How do you enable digital vibrance?

 

I don't see any options for auto dim or digital vibrance, but you can get to all sorts of fun options by enabling the nview desktop manager:

Mouse gestures
Window throwing
Transparency

My favorite option is fuzzy focus. This is something I've grown to love with working in my UNIX environment, but I've never had under windows. The option in the desktop manager is called "automatically activate window under cursor"
