7850m relative performance?

[sabot00]

How does the 7850m compare performance wise to a 5770 and 6870?

 

[dudewitbow]

according to notebookcheck, its just barely slightly better than a 5770, so im just going to say that it is a mobile version of the 5770

Between 7750 and 7770. It is actually an underclock desktop 7770.

Just to clerify....Its actually equal to the 7770M however, its a full 2 tiers below the desktop version. Below is the curernt hierarchy chart for you. Hope this helps...Cheers!

The 7850m in the HP Envy 17 has 1GB VRAM instead of 2GB, do you think the 7850m's GPU is fast enough to really make this a difference?

the vram shouldnt make much of a difference as the gpu isnt designed for 1920x1080 heavy gameplay. only a few games can go past 1 gb vram, and those are heavy duty games that are out of the league for the gpu to emulate at max settings.

Depends on what you're trying to do with it. For instance I have an old GTX 260M laptop that I can still play games on...just not at the greatest settings.
