Theres only some much i can spend but i was wondering if the X1700 was a good gaming chip for a laptop? Is it worse of better than a 7900GS?

What are the mid to high range graphics cards out there right now? Any insight would be great :D
 
7900GS = X1800XL, more or less. Maybe in between X1800XL and X1800XT.
 
I have an Asus A8JP.....has an X1700 and I play HL2 , CS:S with no problems......everything maxxed out.

Haven't tried a newer game like company of heroes however...
 
So the way im reading this, a 6800 Ultra is in performance class 1 while the X1700 is in performance class 2. That means that the 6800 Ultra is better than the X1700?
 
Specifications

* performance class: 2
* series: Mobility Radeon X1000
* codename: M66-P
* pipeline: 24 pixel-pipelines and 8 vertex-pipelines
* clock: chip: 475 MHz, memory: 400 MHz
* memory: DDR/DDR2/GDDR3/GDDR4, maximaler Ausbau: 256MB, Busbreite: 128Bit
* directX: 9c, Shader Model 3.0
* features: Avivo Video and Display Engine, Powerplay 6.0, PCI-E
* application area: notebooks of medium size and medium weight
* other infos: 90 nm, 157 millions of transistors, Windows Vista compatible

It's still a 128bit memory bus... Geforce go ultra should be slightly faster... I'd probably opt for the x1700 though since it's newer...
 
That performance class appears to be for the time of release, e.g. the Radeon 9800 is in class 1 despite being rated lower than many class 2/3 chips.
