    Laptop Driver Question

    I have a ATi Mobility x300 graphics card in an IBM T43 Laptop. I'm wondering if there are any drivers I can use besides the scarcely updated IBM drivers. Would Omegas work, or is there a way to get official ATi drivers running?

    x700 or 6600?

    I meant 7xxx may effect its pricing, so wait till Tuesday. It probably won't though so here's probably what you should get. 6600GT < $200 X800 < $156 6800.

    geforce 7800 - POLL Does it make the grade?

    Dude while it is imaginary at this point, its no match for my imagination. I dream at like 100 fps and seriously they look much better than doom 3 OR half-life 2. Yea... I'm going to ignore the purpose of the poll and just rate the thread. F, wait till the card is out before you make threads...

    x700 or 6600?

    If you find a $200 X800, buy that, its better than a 6600 GT and pretty equal to a 6800. Of course if you found a regular 6800 that is $156, thats your ticket. You may be interested in waiting till tomorrow to see what comes out and changes 6xxx pricing.

    Will I be happy with X600 Pro All-In-Wonder?

    X600 AIW Performance is around that of a 9600 XT. So no they wont be equal. You need a X800 Pro AIW, a X800 XL AIW or a X800 XT AIW (I think those all exist...) to surpass your current performance. I think there may be a X700 Pro AIW as well, and that should be aproximately equal.

    Will a 2500 Barton Bottleneck a 6800nu

    Comparing XPs to P4C's you drop a speed grade. So A 3200+ compares to a 3.0 GHz, A 3000+ compares to a 2.8 GHz. Thats basically how it breaks down. You may be bottlenecked, but if you get a solid overclock the bottleneck could be negligible.

    Pixel Shader 2.0b is more than enough for everything

    ATi is looking at 90nm Low-K tech for R520. 110nm was just a stopgap between 130 and 90, it wasnt a major node which is why they didnt create a low-k version of the process. 90nm is a major node and TMSC will have a much larger capacity in addition to low-k technology. And R480 has a higher...

    CS:S graphics glitch?

    If you're overclocking, scale back some. Otherwise.... I'd fool with the AA/AF and resolution settings. Also if you're using AI, try scaling it back to off or low.

    X800 vs 6800 - For the people that don't want to OC

    I'd go for either the X800 XT or XT PE depending on how much you want to spend. the GT is better than the X800 Pro, but you've stated you dont want to overclock and that you're willing to spend more and the XT/XTPE are going to be a better buy if you're willing to pay for them.

    First shader replacements, now bridge chips?

    Well it appears to be faster in other games. It seems that Doom 3's texture lookups disagree with the methodology of ATi's lookups which results in a large (and unnecessary) performance hit. By using a math replacement, they regain this lost performance.

    First shader replacements, now bridge chips?

    ATi decided that AGP --> PCI-E was a poor choice for bridging because it kills PCI-E's only advantage. Now PCI-E --> AGP is a completely different issue. Because PCI-E has much higher speed and bandwidth, the difference should be negligible. The bandwidth becomes an issue if the textures ever...
