Nvidia Go5700 128mb Vs. Ati Radeon 9700 64mb

[The_Goonie]

Say each chip is coupled with a 3.2Ghz Intel or Athlon 64 3200+ processor for closest comparison.

I would go with the FX5700, but that's just my preference. Nvidia and twice the memory. Both would be great though IMO.

ah crap didnt see the 128...but if it was 128 then the ati for sure...i think the ati wins this though too

[RADEON]

the 9700 will kill the 5700 imo even with only 64 mb ram

ATI all the way baby. The FX5700 is like a budget chipset, and the 9700... well it isn't.

Remember these are MOBILE graphics chips, for Notebooks, not desktops.

I couldn't have said it better myself

Well, being the type of person I am, I decided to challenge the majority and I bought 4 new laptops for testing.

 

HP 3.2Ghz P4 and Nvidia Go5700 w/128mb

 

Toshiba 3.2Ghz P4 and Nvidia Go5700 w/64mb

 

Sony 3.2Ghz P4 and Ati 9700 w/64mb

 

Emachines Athlon 64 3400 and Ati 9600 w/64mb

 

 

Benchmarking them now...at this point...the HP is neck and neck with the Emachines, and the other two are getting HORRIBLE results in Aquamark 3. You must keep in mind that the OEM notebook vendors had the discretion to "underclock" the graphics units at their beck and call and I'm doing some testing on all four machines to see exactly what's going on inside these lappys.

ooops. read to fast and didnt catch that fact.

 

I change my vote to the ati

[The_Goonie]

ati lost this one

[ClayMeow]

Thank you captain obvious

well it seemed from your post you weren't aware of that, unless you really believe the go5700 is a budget chipset, in which case, you're either blatantly biased towards ati, or don't know jack shiz.

 

nvidia wins this battle.
