Graphics card question for the guru's out there:

I just got a new laptop with an NVIDIA 8700gx m
My present desktop pc has an NVIDIA 7950gx2 (dual chip card basically).

Which is best? Should i part out my desktop PC for online sale and utilize the laptop 100% for gaming? Or is the desktop PC still more powerful? Suggestions and insight are greatly appreciated.
 
i really dont know whats more powerful between the two, but desktops are always upgradeable, most laptops cant be upgraded so in a year or 2 it will be no good for gaming meanwhile ur desktop can survive with upgrades.
 
the 7950GX2 is about as powerful as the 8800GTS 320mb, and yeilds pretty massive overclocks due to you overclocking 2 cores at the same time, I'm certain this is faster than any mobile solution.

The 8700 M is pretty much just a higher clocked 8600GTS.
 
Here's the closest comparison I could find.....

Seems like the 7950GX2 is stil the faster card.
BTW, just because the model number on the card is higher, doesn't means it's faster, better, stronger. Even though they're putting better videocards in laptops nowadays, they usually don't stand up to higher-end gamer cards. You'd have to get an Alienware laptop ( or somebody like them ) to get a real high-end videocard.
