Not sure if this is the right Category to ask... but anyone know what graphics system is faster/better? GeForce 9800M GTS vs GTX 260M?

Anyone know of a good mobile GPU chart for reference?

Lastly... anyone know of a good Gaming laptop with a powerful GPU for under $1600 or so? :)


Thanks much...

I change my Asus G50 for the G51 because the Best Buy seller told me this is better than the other 9800M and if you see the 9800M is 512 and the 260M is 1GB and is better version.
also you can check on newegg.com and prices are higher on 260M
that what i found in my research because i got the same question

According to nVidia's chart, the 9800M GTS is two generations older than the GTX 260M, and furthermore the 9800M GTS is in the "Performance" bracket whereas the GTX 260M is in the "Enthusiast" bracket, one higher. So going by this data the GTX 260M should definitely be faster/better.

260>9800.

Note that these are notebook cards and do not correlate to their desktop brethren that can be bought on newegg.

That's correct in that the GTX260 is the better card. However, it is not due to the fact that it has more memory. That is one flawed theory that ill-informed tech people like to use. If I have a 1gb 9400 GT and a 512mb 9600 GT, the 9400 is not going to be better than the 9600 GT just solely on the fact that it has more memory. It has to do with shaders as well as your core and memory clocks.
