ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 vs NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5700

[DR]

A recent review sample of Alienware's Area-51m Extreme laptop afforded me the chance to test out a couple of competing mobile graphics solutions. With its swappable graphics modules, the Area51-m Extreme is close to the perfect test platform for evaluating mobile graphics. With a very capable processor and plenty of memory, removing them as much as possible from the possible sphere of performance influence, it does a decent job of hosting today's shootout.

"More often than not you're reduced to downloading desktop drivers, running a tool that adds PCI ID strings into the driver .inf, allowing your mobile GPU to be detected."


I have never heard of this before and I couldnt seem to find any helpful info on google - can someone point me in the right direction? I have an HP DTR laptop and I would really like to get drivers that are less than 4 months old. Any info would be great! Thanks.

I really enjoyed this review. I am looking at possibly getting a laptop for creating 3d animation on. I also like to game. I know that Geforce has traditionally been better for Apps like Maya, etc. I also know that ATI has been quite good overall as of late. It seems very difficult to find much information like this comparing the mobile FX 5700 vs. Radeons of any sort. I would love to read more about it, especially the options to swap out video cards on laptops.

If anyone knows of some other good reviews of the FX Go5700 or comparisons I would love to see them. Thanks for the great Review!!
