High End mobile GPUs

priyajeet · Nov 8, 2004

Anadtech today has done a test on the two high end mobile GPUs. <A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2268" target="_new">http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2268</A>

GeForce 6800 Go is a mobile version of the desktop 12-pipe GeForce 6800 GPU, code named NV41M.

VS

M28, just like the GeForce 6800 Go, is a 12-pipe version of their desktop high-end X800 part. The GPU will be available in 128-bit and 256-bit versions (up to 256MB of memory), with clock speeds of 400MHz core and with 400MHz GDDR3 memory

besides that they also posted Xpress200 chipset from ATI.

Well there will also be a GF6800GO that is 16pip too, but that is to come later, as is ATI's part. ExtremeTech has their take also;

Well, Go does better than the ATi in the 2 games that matter most to me. :frown: Not that I care, bcos i dont have a lappie. But was hoping for ATI in atleast HL2.

The results are pretty amazing, and THG didn't review the M28 yet, so those results come at a surprise, since the 6800Go is already a very strong mGPU.

Though at the cost of a notebook that really doesn't have anymore good notebook caracteristics, really. Seriously, can anyone put a 3.2GHZ Prescott with a 6800Go inside a laptop with 3 fan holes in the bottom? That's like running your Prescott PC system on your lap!

Im buying a laptop for my girlfriend for christmas for college, but naturally since im going to have access to it also, im making sure it can handle some decent games, do you feel its worth forgoing the 128MB ATI's™ Mobility Radeon™ 9700 and waiting for the 6800go to start popping up?? But will having the 9800 kill battery time to the point where itll render the laptop useless except as a desktop replacment>?

Power Hungry laptops come with HUGE batteries, like 150Wh.

Mine has the biggest for it (98Wh), and when it's playing DVDs it'll go about 1.5-2hrs, when gaming in UT2K4 it'll go 45mins-1hr, Morrowind is a little better. These laptops clock back the processors (both CPU and VPU), my 2.8ghz P4 clocks back to 1.5ghz, and do get some efficiencies, but nothing worth calling them endurance champs.

The biggest drawback is not the battery life, but the system WEIGHT. The XPS and similar laptops are reachin 10-12LBS! and that's WITHOUT the case, power-brick, etc.

That seems to be the biggest drawback, the strain on your Back!

And like Eden eludes to, they run very hot, and significantly louder than you would expect from a laptop, constantly running fans over the heatpipe assembly, even for 2D web-surfing. And the heat coming off them is enough to toast your testies if you're not careful.

You better watch out Great, the next time your playing doom 3 on a airplane and your comp heats up and the fans spin sky marshalls might think that shits a bomb.

I actually Popper the Circuit breaker on that Air Canada power jack (took 2mins to reset) when I was gaming, that's what made me think watching 'Dead Like Me' was less hassle (I porbably coulda played a while on Batteries, but considering it was about 2hr flight without a movie (only flights over 3hrs get movies [except the one from Toronto to Bermuda I always got full movie on that one]). So I didn't want to get stuck half way through the flight trying to recharge the laptop and watch DVDs, incase the laptop popped the circuit breaker even when watching DVDs. So I wouldn't be surprised if with a new laptop the whole airplane dims when you power up your rig. :lol:

But man power is getting to be more of an issue, I can't imagine what a P4 3.6GHZHT with MobX800/GF6800GO will churn.
Scary.

I'm already considering replacing the laptop though, with either a 2.4ghz celeron or 1.3ghz Centrino Thinkpad. Man I miss the fit and feel of a ThinkPad. I may have found someone at work to take it for the price of the new Thinkpad (about a $300 loss to me, but worth every penny IMO).

Have u tried playing Flight Simulator in the plane ?
When u play it, make sure u show it to others.

TheGreatGrapeApe · Nov 10, 2004

I don't play much flight sim. Dad has M$ flight sim, but I'm not interested. However it would be somewhat appropriate to play on a flight, and visually stunning.

I'm not going anywhere near that one.

There are alot of people around here still pretty sensitive, so I'll just smile and wave, like the idjit that I are is.

The best internet joke \propoganda I ever seen was a picture of the m1a1 abrhams tank that said "what we have", and then on the other side it says "what they have", and it showed a vw bug cut in half and in the second half of the bug was some half baked osama looking guy covered in beads with reigns hooked up to a mule pulling it around and it was labled afgany battle donkey.

My brother is looking for a laptop right now, and he showed me a big 17" HP that had a GeForce 5700 chip. I told him to stay away from anything FX, and that he should look to ATi 9600/9700/9800 or the Go6800 chip. It seems like good performance in newer games on laptop computers is always a losing proposition because they only put the hotshot GPUs on the ritzy models $$$, they suck up a lot of wattage, and they add to the heat problem. First person shooters are the pivotal issue; if you play Starcraft or Europa then there's nothing to worry about.

Have you ever read the news about the guy who had his lap burned by the laptop?

Well, true story, and that was over a year ago IIRC!

Why did you link us to a 1999 [H] preview/review of an Abit motherboard?

There's really nothing offensive of his parody link, it's just an image of a game box, on a pretty safe site.

TheGreatGrapeApe · Nov 11, 2004

Yeah I remember reading about that guy on CNN's site.

As for the link, to each his own, it doesn't offend me, but I know that this place has had lighter things cause gigantic brush-ups. Anywhoo, it's his thread, and it does seem like there's little reactions so who am I to comment?

Anywhoo, off to watch 'The Incredibles' (perfect for Rememberance day, don't you think

). Watched Saving Private Ryan at 11. Be sure to drop a loonie in a poppy collection box, eh!
