Geforce Go! (Direct X 10?)

[nintenjo]

Im looking at swithing over to a laptop for my main systemas some stage.. As ive been using a good laptop at work (geforce 7950 512mb) and the whole portability of a laptop seems very appealing to me..

Although my next PC upgrade was going to be to a Direct X 10 based card and Windows Vista..

When will be likely see Mobile Geforce 8's ?

Seems rather pointless to me They won't have the power to push the DX10 pixels anyway

Why do you say that?

The GeForce Go 7900GTX in my lappy performs at about 90% of a PCI-E desktop version. No reason to think the mobile G80 will be any different.

except the fact that it draws over 200 watts or so....but I'm sure there will be some kind of throttling when the lappy is unplugged.

I've been out of the laptop game for awhile and was looking at 7950 SLI noteboooks....wtf didn't know notebooks had SLI these days!

Those are not notebooks, they are mobile desktops. They have battery lives of around an hour, unloaded!, an insult even to my m1710 which is a powerhouse and some. (gets 3 & 1/2 hours)

Same lappy as mine Lay-Z

Good isn't it

Some Laptops have built-in graphics chip and the dedicated one but they come with a switch to change between them (reboot required usually).

So when you want battery life, flick over to onboard, when you want to game flick over to dedicated.
