    According to the Specification of M860TU it´will support the 9700M GTS. The Problem is when these GPU will be officially released... :D

    yes very nice shyster, it dont actually see the need to upgrade mine for a good while yet, it should last me at least 2 months :)

    but it would be nice if they all finally settled on a uniform gpu design.
    I suppose waiting and seeing what happens is what we have to do, I am just not used to it , being a desktop veteran and all :)

    Maybe we`ll see this mobile chipsets in the summer, with a bit of luck. But I wouldn`t count on that.
    I`d rather see the 10th series,which will be based on a new G200 core. Higher TDP and all.

    There is no comparison list. Only the names have been revealed.

    This is the third thread I've seen about this, I'll repeat what I said for the first two: not much of a revelation. A blind man could have seen the 9 series coming.

    I don't understand -- why wouldn't it support the 9800M GTS? Same architecture...

    Also, I'm specifically waiting for the 9800M GTX to come out before I purchase a M860TU to hold it. Is it likely that the M860TU can not, in fact, support the card at ALL? Major disappointment if this is true...

    well I am sure their mobile parts will be designed with selling to OEM's quickly in mind
    its also quite likely that the 9800m gtx will run at similar temps etc to the 8800m gtx, so yes I think it will be in the 15" clevo.

    and of course while a bunch of people are waiting for the next big thing.
    I will be playing games on the current big thing........................I am of course referring to my laptop!!!! :)

    So 9700M GTS/9800M GT(GTS) will be pretty much an 9600 GT(64SPs) desktop card... like what happened with 8700M GT/8600 GTS...

    Because the only 64SPs, their performance will be very close to an actual 8800M GTS... nothing fantastic about that...

    Only 9800M GTX will use the G92 core... lets hope no lazer cut this time, all 128SPs...

    lets just hope the whole lot just slots into our current laptops :)
    then we would be able to prolong the time before upgrade..........
    actually ......... who am I kidding ??? I will get the 2 year itch like always :)

    yeah, that's what I was wondering myself. If it does happen, I'm guessing we would see a nice price drop on the 8 series from sager, no?

    Well, I can't talk numbers exactly but I can tell you this: when the 8800mGTX was first out and the Go 7950 GTX was also offered, the 7950 was offered "free" as a base card (the alternative being the 8700mGT).

    Edit: One important thing to remember is that the mobile 9 series is a "refresh" not a totally new set of chips and the 8700mGT's selling point versus the 7950 was dx10 support; the 9-series won't have this advantage and the 8800mGTX is a really beastly card (as was/is the Go 7950 GTX)

    Yeah, it's a refresh just like the desktop counterparts right?

    I picked up an 8800GT when I built my desktop back in December (my own holiday gift tee hee, wifey got a louie vuton, so she owed me :p ) and I was a bit weary about upgrading before the 9 series, but I'm glad I didn't wait. I do wish I picked up a GTX though instead of the GT, I'm having a terrible time when I enable AA in just about all games....

    Yeah, personally I think the G92 GTS is the real "sweet spot" as it's got so much power for it's price; it's incredible how big of an improvement it is over the previous GTS.

    Personally, I'd be pretty mad if I bought a 640MB GTS before the 512s were out

    Darn it Shyster1, just when I found somebody who whould buy my Porsche :D
    Well,my Opel does 100 mph easily and since it doesn`t eat more than 2.5 gallons/60 miles(worst case scenario-usually 1.5 gallons/60 miles) I am happy with it.
    My 7950GTX, that is another story. It has outlived its usefullness.
    Enter 9800MGTX!

    u ge the sameresults with 2 9800m gtx s and i don't think the laptops are ready for quad sli yet. for starters, if we did have quadsli, there would be no reson to own a stove, just fry yo eggs on ur laptop bottom. hot as an oven and u need to wear special pants to use the laptops. burns holes through normal jeans.
