looking for a gfx card comparisions chart

[zii]

living in the land of laptop heaven...

does anyone know where I can find a camparison chart for graphic cards.
In particular I wish to compare the ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 (64Mb), which is now some three years old to an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900.

Anyone have any clues about this?

Cheers for any information, Z.


ps. Retired from NC life due to real life commitments ~ Will be back for real this April.

Not sure if mobile GPUs are in there tho...

I realy doubt the intel gpu is any good. Ive heard only bad things.

Thats not realy a review on this specific intel gpu.... its on intel gpu's in general with no testing results other then "Its not made for gaming" .

I found a site for the intel gma 900 http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/chipsets/display/i915g.html

And the radeon 7500 mobile is worse then the radeon 9000 mobile... not sure if its much help but there you go. Also your looking at the 915g scores as it has that gpu on it.

Thanks to everyone who found out the details. I know so little about gfx cards.

I have another laptop that runs an nVidia GeForce FX Go5650, which seems to be a slightly better brother of the Go5200 that was used as a comparison in the review http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/chipsets/display/i915g_4.html. I know that the 5620 can play NC reasonable well at 800x600 in windowed mode, with the occasionaly 0.5 second screen lockup, and the Intel 915 seems to out perform the 5200 very easily.

Back to basics: Does anyone think the Intel 900 chip will play Neocrack?

I have run nc2 with

Geforce 2 MX
TNT2 64 (aka t2000 or somthing)
radeon 7000
and S3 onboard graphics

The intel is pretty much better then all of those. Also fluffy played neocron up tell he was banned with a geforce 2 MX in his computer. You should be fine.

Thanks. In which case I shall pop down to the local Sony centre and pick up one of those cute Sony TX series ultra portable 11" laptops.

Yum. http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_BrowseCatalog-Start?CategoryName=cpu_VAIONotebookComputers_TXSeries&Dept=computers

11" laptop?!

The only laptop that small I'd dream of touching would have to be a tablet pc!

I can watch films on it while on the train to work, can use it as a normal PC, it has BT and GSM/EDGE intergarted into it so I can actually work on the go, and I can play NC on it. Perfect. At home I can connect it to a descent LCD for better resolution though.

descent = to go lower, to go down.

decent = acceptable, okay, so-so, middling.

Oh, ide like to point out that it was playable, but not much more realy :D .

update: Played NC on TX/512Mb/1.2ghz Dolean in windowed mode/800x600 = 40 FPS outside the MB bunker with a 612Mb PF - lots of swapping. Anyone got a spare 512Mn DDR2 ... ?

It might work with 1024Mb (2x512Mb DDR2) as there would be no swapping and the integrated 128Mb gfx memory pool wouldn't have to compete with the game for memory.

The TX looks fab, and the screen is really clear and bright. Not as sexy as the Vaio XG-505E, but still nice.
