well while Iwas surf'n around I came across this article @ Hot Hardware :)
http://www.hothardware.com/viewarticle.aspx It's about the sickest Mobile Graphics accelerator you could think about if' it's all about pure speed :) Nvidia's GeForce Go 7950GTX :) here some sweet specs of it :) NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX Specifications: Flagship Performance Crammed Into a Notebook NVIDIA CineFX 4.0 Shading Architecture Vertex Shaders: Support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Vertex Shader 3.0 Displacement mapping Geometry instancing Infinite length vertex programs Pixel Shaders: Support for DirectX 9.0 Pixel Shader 3.0 Full pixel branching support Support for Multiple Render Targets (MRTs) Infinite length pixel programs Next-Generation Texture Engine: Accelerated texture access Up to 16 textures per rendering pass Support for 16-bit floating point format and 32-bit floating point format Support for non-power of two textures Support for sRGB texture format for gamma textures DirectX and S3TC texture compression Full 128-bit studio-quality floating point precision through the entire rendering pipeline with native hardware support for 32bpp, 64bpp, and 128bpp rendering modes API Support: .Complete DirectX support, including the latest version of Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 .Full OpenGL support, including OpenGL 2.0 64-Bit Texture Filtering and Blending: .Delivers true high dynamic range (HDR) lighting support .Full floating point support throughout entire pipeline .Floating point filtering improves the quality of images in motion .Floating point texturing drives new levels of clarity and image detail .Floating point frame buffer blending gives detail to special effects like motion blur and explosions NVIDIA Intellisample 4.0 Technology: .Advanced 16x anisotropic filtering (with up to 128 Taps) .Blistering- fast antialiasing and compression performance .Gamma-adjusted rotated-grid antialiasing removes jagged edges for incredible image quality .Transparent multisampling and transparent supersampling modes boost antialiasing quality to new levels .Support for normal map compression .Support for advanced lossless compression algorithms for color, texture, and z-data at even higher resolutions and frame rates .Fast z-clear NVIDIA UltraShadow II Technology: .Designed to enhance the performance of shadow-intensive games NVIDIA Digital Vibrance Control (DVC) 3.0 Technology: .DVC color controls .DVC image sharpening controls Advanced Display Functionality: . Dual integrated 400MHz RAMDACs for display resolutions up to and including 2048x1536 at 85Hz .Full NVIDIA nView multi-display technology capability NVIDIA PureVideo Technology: .Dedicated on-chip video processor .High-definition H.264, MPEG2 and WMV9 decode acceleration .Advanced spatial-temporal de-interlacing .Inverse telecine (2:2 and 3:2 pull-down correction) .High-quality video scaling .Video color correction .Microsoft Video Mixing Renderer (VMR) supports multiple video windows with full video quality and features in each window Composited Desktop Hardware Engine: . Video post-processing .Real-time desktop compositing .Accelerated antialiased text rendering .Pixel shader-driven special effects and animation Advanced Engineering: .Designed for PCI Express x16 .Designed for high-speed GDDR3 memory .Designed around MXM constraints .Same Thermal, Power, and Space constraints as GeForce Go 7900 GTX Operating Systems: .Microsoft Vista .Windows XP/Windows XP 64 .Windows ME .Windows 2000 .Linux .Macintosh OS X The GeForce Go 7950 GTX: Exposed The GeForce Go 7950 GTX: Rear-View The GeForce Go 7950 GTX: MXM Module: But yes it's something nice from the Green camp, though it still lacks Combined FSAA & HDR support, so waiting for a G80 is very worthwhile it, but if FSAA ain't such of importance and HDR with pure speed is it's the best to get for the Laptop Gamers market :) otherwise there is ATi's M56 Mobillity Radeon X1800XT :) |

I don't want to start a discussion about the sense of high end notebook graphics...but I think a notebook is something to WORK, not to GAME.
Mobility is the second reason for the nonsense of such a chip...how long can you use this Notebook without electricity connection? 1,5 h? Uh...very long. I have to agree that it's still an impressive piece of hardware.. |

I wonder how they are able to keep these high end graphics chips cool in a notebook.

Title: Re: nVidia GeForce Go 7950GTX, Laptop Sickness Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 13.10.06 at 19:38:03 I meant: @ Voodoo Freak: hey I think it's the perfect outcome, since many people have bad backs and a limited with transport to go to thier local computer clubs or Lan Parties that is where these laptops come in ;) And to be honest I am one of those people, so please take note there. think before you say something like that since there are more people I know that have the same problem, I am not alloud to drive a car because I see things that aren't there and also have a bad back, not allout to pickup heavy stuff so therefore my Dell Inspiron 9100 Xtreme with ATI M18 Mobillity Radeon 9800 was my outcome, now I can enjoy with my other friends, at my computerclub and other lanparties. So It's only good that these things comealong for people that have problesm carrying things, and have other problems, so the Gamers Laptop deserves it's place. Since I'm 100% disapproved a laptop is made to GAME and NOT WORK >:( ::) |

Yeah, i understand your point...but you have to think in general...a Notebook equipped with a X700 is enough i believe..true high end chips are basically senseless. You are not allowed to carry heavy things?
A notebook with a Core 2 Duo, 2GB Ram, 250GB HDD and Geforce 7950GTX is heavy. Gaming is very nice but notebooks are not designed for stuff like this. And, as gamma mentioned, how they keep things like this monster cool? I wonder how long these notebooks are fully functional. btw: I'm not jandarsun8 ;) |

Um, just was looking over this post when I seen my name on here with nothing behind it. Did I post something and it go deleted? Just was wondering cuz I generally try not to cause problems, just thought it was odd, that's all. |
