Ati don't even update their mobile drivers Good luck getting your graphic card drivers from dell/hp/asus/etc, at least Nvidia update their mobile drivers

Again ATI is properly playing around since Nvidia did not release fermi yet the next big battle will be between Fermi vs 5000 Series refresh.

Nvidia rebrands usually are 20% faster than previous card

If you want a real card wait for Fermi vs 5000 Refresh or listen to the fanboys who did down rank me if you think they will pay for your notebook.]]>Jan 13th 2010 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/ 9800 > 200 > 300, all 99% the same damn architecture, sure there is a die shrink or two in there but the graphical power has not really increased in that time anywhere near what it had in previous generations.

I am a user of both ATI and nVidia and will say that nvidia had the top mobile cards for a while, but ATI has really stepped up there game in the last year. Whoever is on top doesn’t matter, what matters is that both companies fight for the top. This is what leads to better products and better prices for the consumer.

All the same damned architecture, just more cores and faster speeds and some small new feature additions.

Don't be selectively blind.]]>Jan 13th 2010 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/
I don't know what you are smoking. ATI's 4870/4890 have 1/2 the number of cores as the 5870 and less than 60% of the performance. This is in addition to all the DirectX11 features and new multi-display gaming technology in the 5xxx series.

You cannot possible compare the ATI 4xxx-5xxx change to the three-time rebranding of Geforce G80/G92-based GPUs ...

DX11 support does not mean that its more powerful, it can work with dx11 but what would you do with 5 frames per second on dx11? If you want DX11 you need to buy the upper level cards which by next year will become mid-level dx11 cards. Dont always fall for the DirectX bs, there is a huge difference between compatible and performance. ]]>Jan 13th 2010 6:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/Jan 13th 2010 7:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/Jan 13th 2010 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/Jan 13th 2010 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/Jan 13th 2010 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/Jan 13th 2010 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/
ATI's 5870 mobile may only have the same number of SPU's as the 4870 mobile, but it's a brand new chip, NOT a rebrand. ]]>Jan 13th 2010 7:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/
Agreed. When I saw "NVIDIA outs 300M" in the title, I thought "wow, NVIDIA is releasing mobile Fermi GPUs already," then read the article and got an instant rebranded letdown. Then to make matters even more pathetic, when Fermi GPUs actually release, NVIDIA is probably gonna use the GTX300 naming scheme. Causing confusion among the consumer because the GTX300 series is Fermi while 300M series is not. ]]>Jan 14th 2010 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/

Not to mention the Core i7 is just a refresh of the Core 2 Duo which is a refresh of the Core Duo which is a refresh of the Pentium III which is a refresh of the Pentium II which is a refresh of the Pentium Pro.

What's your point?]]>Jan 13th 2010 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/Jan 13th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/Jan 13th 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/nvidia-outs-300m-mobile-graphics-series-causes-little-excitemen/There is refresh as in "double the cores, add in the latest Direct X support, power gating, new video acceleration support" and there is refresh as in "we shrunk the die" and then there is refresh as in "we painted a new number on the side of the box."

all that nvidia has been doing is dropping prices and trying to stay afloat.

Since their 8800 Direct x10 first leap forward way ahead of ati, they have really not been trying as hard.

The best nvidia cards now are still old cards with just small changes, the new ATI are completely redone and updated cores.

while nvidia is still trying to push 2x and 3x of the same old card on one platform...]]>Jan 13th 2010 3:55PM
