A sager with an ATI?

I have been reading allot of good things about the new 3850 ATI and the crossfire configuration of it(2x3850).

Any chance Sager is offering such a thing, i mean isnt it supposed to match the top notch Nvidia cards???

To be honest, i haven't found yet any laptop having this config, although it has been out for a while( not sure about this statement, but im sure i saw the benchmarks somwhere)

Any laptop offering this config???

 

Alfonz, right now Clevo has put dealing with ATI on hold. There may be something in the future, but if you had ever tried to deal with AMD / ATI you would probably be asking yourself why you wanted to go there now. These guys act as if it was 3 years ago and they were on top of the industry?!?!?

Seriously: getting parts... nightmare, releases on time.... nightmare, updating current product lines... nightmare, performance equaling what was promised... no. AMD should face the fact that they got pwned and are completely dominated right now in the processor arena and come to the marketplace with hat in hand and try to win back some goodwill and reassure the community they are serious this time and that history is not going to repeat itself with the ATi brand also. That or they can become the next Cyrix.

Competition is generally a good thing. I wish nVidia and ATi could have come together on SLi so we didn't have SLi and Crossfire. The completely different architecture is a nightmare from ODM and consumer use perspective.

That said, I have a 17" Dual M88XT or single nVidia 8800 GTX coming out in a month. So email or PM me if you wnat some more info.

 

You mean Dual 9800 GXT, b/c this would definetly be an edge.....

 

ATI M88XT CrossFire

 

Which will be better or equal to the 8800M GTX , if properly implemented, said the sites I read.
Honestly, I gave up on ATI/AMD a long time ago.
From a low end point of view, the Puma platform is not bad as a performer, but no improvement in the battery life sector.

 

The Clevo Puma notebooks are the only ones using ATI at the moment.

Puma notebooks perform quite well with the hybrid Crossfire ATI cards.

 

MSI will offering one (or more) Notebook with the Radeon HD 3850. The model GT735 has such an config: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1517&maincat_no=135&cat2_no=271
Probably there will be only 17"-notebooks offered with the HD 3850 - no HD 3850 with notebooks smaller than 17" i think i read somewhere.

I'm wondering when the Clevo Puma notebooks (M7xxJ) will be offered by European Resellers.

 

With the exchange rate just kicking all sorts of butt... well, you know.

 

No crossfire
