Laptop GFX card

R4Z0R · May 9, 2006, 03:59 PM

I want to have a gfx card in a 15.4" laptop that can handle games atleast averagely, meaning no lower than a X1600.
My question is: what card is more powerful the ATI X1600 mobility (256mb) or the Geforce Go 7600 (what's turbocache? with or without that)?

For a 15.4" laptop, the fastest vid cards are the X1600 and Go 7600, at least for now. There are more powerful cards like the Go 7800 - 7900 GTX, but they usually come in 17" laptops.

But which of them is more powerful? The ATi or the nVidia? I've been more inclined towards ATi in high-end but have no idea which mobile solutions perform better.
Anyone have a clue?

From what I've read, they [the X1600 + Go 7600] both perform about the same. It's just down to preference I believe...
