9700 Pro Desktop vs x1400 Mobile

[lambchops511]

which is better

9500 Pro bios flashed to 9700 Pro

or

x1400 Mobile

and by how much?

What resolutions should I play CS:S with 60+ frames for my x1400? My laptop screen is 1680x1050

I believe the 9700 is slightly better, though not by too much.

For that sort of question, go here:

It has twice as many pipelines, twice as many texture units, and twice as many raster operators, so an actual full-bore 9700 Pro would be close to twice as fast. How that translates in terms of an unlocked and/ or overclocked card is harder to estimate.

how exactly do u bios flash a 9500pro to a 9700 pro?

the 9500pros didnt have 256bit memory interface did they? at least mine doesnt, just has the fully functional R300 + 128bit mem

 

[lambchops511]

the original 9700 pros and some nonpros are really 9700s

I thought it was only the 9500 non pro that had the L-shaped memory config and the red PCB.
