simple question, which of these two is superior (and by how much %) NVIDIA 9600M GT or ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650, the NVIDIA paired with C2D running at 2Ghz and the ATI with AMD Turion X2 running at 2Ghz, thanks a lot

thanks for replies, another question! what sort of difference is there between 9600M GS and 9600M GT, its only clock speed right?

 

[Gashman]

Yup just clock speed. The shader clock is on a different ratio as well so the 9600 GS has slower shader power clock for clock unless you unlink.

thats what i thought, so one could turn a 9600GS into a 9600GT with a bit of fiddling? how decent are laptop cooling solutions, enough to handle the increased clock speed of the GS? and also can one opt to chance the GPU cooler in a laptop?

i have laptop with p8600 dual core and 9600gt + 4 gig of ram very good performer can handle most of the games

what sort of laptop is it?

 

[Gashman]

what sort of games can one play on a 9600M GT, obviously not stuff like crysis, etc. what about vanilla supreme commander, medium settings without AA?

 

[Gashman]

i played supreme commander on everything high no trouble at all. i think

ill install it again and tell u how it performs as it been a while as i played it. stay tuned

thanks a bunch

dx 10 all high 2 AA on 15~18 fps resolution 1680x1050

dx 10 all medium No AA 20~28 fps rez 1680x1050

did not experience any lag on any settings how ever did not participate in any big battles.

graphics card not overclocked all stock

hope it helps

supreme commander is DX9 isn't it?

 

[Gashman]

is it playable at 20 - 28FPS? any noticable stuttering or anything?

sweet, brother in law offered me his 'old' work laptop for a fair bit less than i can find it anywhere online, since they gave him a replacement (samsung) it is almost brand new and the model is Acer Aspire Gemstone 6930G (or something along those lines), Core 2 Duo 2Ghz (either T7350 or T6400), 4Gb DDR2 memory, 16" screen, 250Gb Hard Disk (i think) and either 9600M GT or 9600M GS, unsure which and will check when he comes back from Barrow with GPU-Z, are these anygood and worth couple hundred £s?
