good point, if you could find the mobility x800xt, it would be the best mobile GPU, but its just not available...
well what's this then?
I've never heard of that company, and couldn't seem to find any prices on their site, either. Got a reputable source that's selling this bad boy?

Ah, there they are. Wonderful..in pounds...probably why I've never heard of the company (at least I know of Sager and Eurocom...no idea who these people are).
Lets see why people would want a laptop for gaming...
-Its much more portable than a desktop
-Its almost as powerfull
-and it can be cheaper than a desktop as well, if you go threw dell.
You obviously havent visited notebookforums.com, there are a LOT of people who game on their notebooks.
I love my 9300 w/ 6800 go. I can play any game that is out right now, with eye candy turned all the way up except for F.E.A.R.

it's on the left side of the page i linked to, for chrissakes
You folks seem to be taking this stuff way too seriously.
While it's true that MaximumPC reviewed an Alienware laptop sporting an X800XT that beat all the other laptops in speed tests including (barely) the 6800Ultra equipped Dell XPS2, Alienware is notorious for building products for reviews that they don't actually offer for sale. You're also comparing a high end P4 to a mobile Intel CPU so it's not a good test comparison for these cards. I was shopping for a gaming laptop recently and Alienware still hadn't actually offered a laptop with the X800XT and neither did anyone else. Looks like RockDirect is the first company to slap together a Clevo gaming laptop with this card. Still doesn't mean they will actually ship it to you today.
Probably the newer X800XT does edge out the older 6800Go Ultra in most performance tests (Doom3 notwithstanding) but if you can't buy it all this is academic and does not yeild any profits for ATi. In any case the difference is probably pretty small.
And yes, I use laptops for gaming. I travel a lot spending many nights in hotels offereing high speed internet access and also like to game. It's a hell of a way to pass the time in a strange city by yourself. I think college students also make good consumer targets for these rigs. Personally I like something in the 15.4 inch screen size over the Clevo behemoths like Alienware since I have to cart it around all day.

yup. I would agree with this fella. There is alot of advantages on owning a gaming laptop, more mobility (duh), and it's all in one for goodness sake! not forgetting the mouse
Awsome!!!!
I guess it's still not going to run cool enough to use in a non-Clevo, 15.4" notebook though.

http://www.laptoplogic.com/news/06/08/2005/283/0/
You should check the benchmark comparisons with that X800 and the 6800 Go Ultra. Leading my @ss.
Expect the 7800 Go to be released and SLi versions to follow shortly after (yes, SLi). Can't really provide you timelines, however.
16-pipelines 450MHz Core/450MHz Mem > 12-pipeline 450MHz Core/450MHz Mem
Therefore
ATI MR X800XT > NVIDIA GF Go 6800 Ultra
Oh, and ATI has an X800XT PE clocked at 480MHz Core/550MHz Mem. While it hasn't shown up in use yet, that's a helluva mobile clock.
Sorry, but NVIDIA is behind in the mobile GPU arena till the 7800's come out
Let's keep fanboyism out of this forum, kthx
EDIT My bad, I thought this post was in the Notebook forum; fanboyism is an unfortunate reality of Vide
yeah, clockspeeds and pipelines are the only parts of a Graphics card that effect performance.
I think this thread was started about the 7800Go, not a flameware about current ATi and NVidia products and what mobile GPU was one percent faster than the other in what game. Getting the X800 confused with the X800XT is what happenned to this guy here. No big deal.
Honestly I think some of you people don't understand the powerful effect healthy competition has on a free market.
Which takes me back to the topic at hand. My suspicion is that NVidia has rushed this mobile version of their new GPU to take away some of the limelight ATi will certainly get next month with the release of their new products. I wonder how quickly ATi will match NVidia's move to maintain it's edge on the mobile market.
Whatever happens, you know it will be some cool stuff running in laptops over the next few months.

I should be meeting with NVIDIA sometime before the official launch on the 29th, so I'll see what other details on the Go 7800GTX I can uncover
No word on ATI's next mobile solution, but I'll inquire
What does that have to do with the Go 7800GTX?My guess is drivers maybe? The configs had 1GB RAM, 7200RPM drives, 2+Ghz Pentium M CPU, etc.
We have a Dell M170 on the way to test, so we'll have 100% verified benchies then

I'm finding out of the 7800 will fit into an XPS Gen2, and if so, I'm going to pick the card up separately. If not, then I'll pick up the M710 (or I may wait until a laptop with these in SLi are available).
