My question is dealing with laptops, but it's also a game PC question, so I'll stick it in here. These are figures from NVidia (found on Tom's Hardware in an article about Dell M1710):
Geforce Go 7900 GS Geforce Go 7800GTX memory interface 256 bit 256 bit memory bandwidth 32.2 GB/s 35.2 GB/s Fill rate (billion pixels/sec) 7.5 9.6 Vertices/sec (millions) 656 800 RAMDACs 400MHz 400MHz Core Clock 375MHz 400MHz Pixel Pipelines 20 24 ALUs 40 48 vertex processing engine 7 8 memory amount, max 256 512 process .09 micron .11 micron On paper, at least, the 7800GTX is better than the more expensive 7900GS. The 7900 GTX, by the way, is very expensive and adds $400 to the laptop cost with Dell. There's no option to get an M1710 with a 7800 GTX and the entry-level laptop is $2,600. Before they changed the laptops from M170s to M1710s I had configured (but not purchased) a pretty good laptop for $2,400. So now you see why I'm irritated. I may just blow off Dell and get a laptop somewhere else. Budget is $2,500 unless very compelling reasons could make it worthwhile to spend a bit more. Suggestions? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
