shashin Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I'm thinking about buying a new laptop, my two options are a sony s460 or a toshiba satelite forgot the model number. One has a Geforce Go 6600 Graphics card whereas the other has a Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator w/10MB-128MB shared video memory. Which one would make a better suit for games such as mvp baseball, nba live sports games in general. Would there be a problem with games on a intel card? Thanks in advance, Shashin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Get the laptop with the Geforce Go 6600. Shared memory setups are terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YanksAllDaWay81 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Well the Geforce 6600 is a very good graphics card fit for more high-end games such as Half Life2 and Doom3 whereas the intel card, which is very good for an intergrated card will work well for the games you have specified. If you arent going to play games other than those sport ones than the intel card will have no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way will the intergrated card work well with this game or the nba live games. Do you know how demanding the graphics for these game are? That Intel card will slow down the games to a crawl. Probably by default with these games he will have certain graphics options disabled becasue the game will see that he won't even be able to display those graphics. Even the 6600go will be somewhat taxed by these games, but purchasing the intel card is probably money thrown into the garbage if he wants to play these games.

MikeB Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Anyone know how well a 128MB Mobility Radeon X600 will work with MVP '05? I am told it will work the same as the desktop X600, which plays the game really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOWDERHEADSLC Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I had the 9600se (128mb) in my old laptop and it played it well. My new laptop uses the x700 (256mb) and it runs super smooth. I would imagine that the x600 would fall in between the two - so no problem (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbsmith Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Yeah,,Go for the one that has the GeForce6600. be sure to download the latest drivers for the 6600. nVidia and ATI chips are made for gamers. Most integrated video chips are good enough for office aplications and playing DVD movies and that's about all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
