Mobile Video Cards Question

[t0rek]

Could anybody post any recommendations and differences (no technical ones) between this 3 cards, It seems that I'm going to buy a laptop... Could somebody post a benchmark about it... (tech stuff is cool but benchmark stuff is better)

ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 32MB
nVidia GeForce FX Go5200 64MB
nVidia Quadro FX Go5200 32MB

those nvidia cards are way ahead of that ati card...a radeon 9200 64mb is about even with those cards. Also, the quadro FX go is a high end card for graphics professionals; its not much better in terms of speed, and the average gamer will not get any benefits with that card.

Also note that atis laptop cards don't use as much power as nvidias laptop cards, so your batteries would last longer with ati.

I'm running a Quadro4 750XGL on this machine and a Quadro2 Pro on my server. They are truelly far more accurate than your standard gamer cards and have superior color precision.

Since I upgraded this machine recently to a Quadro4, it's been a real joy to be able to model with anti-aliased edges and wireframes.

To put this more into perspective, I read an article comparing a Quadro FX (something) vs. the equivilant GeForce FX (something). The GeForce did perform better in games than the Quadro, but just about died when it came to 3d apps. Each model is designed for a different purpose.

Right; like I said the quadros are more designed for graphics professionals, its kind of like comparing apples to oranges.
