7950gtx or 8700m gt?

[thomas23]

hi,
i want to buy a new laptop and im not sure which. its 2 identical systems except teh graphicscard.

the list here doesnt have an 8700m gt but on notebookcheck.de it is 80% for 7950Gtx and 65% for 8700m gt.
so the 7950gtx has 23% more raw power, while it has no dx10? what would u recommend?
price is almost equal. 30 euros more for 7950gtx thx in advance

....I personally would go with the 8700 just because of the DX10 Support... I just got an 8800gts for my desktop and all I have to say is DX10 is very VERY pretty.... you will get more power from the 7950 though so it comes down to

looks Vs. performance

but on a laptop I don't think the performance gap would be all that huge....

IMO go for the 8700 (and if your laptop has good cooling you can OC it a little to gain some more points)
