Mobility x600 vs Radeon 9800 Pro

[Stabbywabby]

Hi everyone

I'm new here, and only semi-fluent in the latest GPU stuff (last time I looked into it, Radeon 9800 Pro was only a step or two down from top o the line). I'm looking into a laptop, and I'm wondering how a Mobility X600 compares to my desktop's 9800 Pro. I've been looking for hours, and maybe I just fail at Google, but I can't find much that would compare these two in terms of benchmarking etc. I found some hard stats, but honestly they don't mean that much to me as far as how much real difference I'll see in terms of framerates etc.The stats I found are also for the regular X600, I'm not sure if it's the same as the Mobility card.

I typically play Final Fantasy XI, Guild Wars, Unreal Tournament 2004, and probably the most intensive things I play are Dawn of War and Doom 3 (not very often though).

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

The X600 does not even come close to the Mobility 9800, let alone the desktop 9800 Pro. The X600 has 4 pipelines and gets a 3dMark01 score of around 12000 while the 9800 Pro can reach 30000 and has I think 8 pipelines. Anyway in short, the X600 cant even begin to compare with the 9800 Pro.

You need a mobility x700, that is a better match to the 9800 Pro.

I can actually play Oblivion on medium settings and HL2 on max settings using a mobility x700. Not great, but possible. Even this surprised me.
