Guest The Watcher Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 The 8700 is a type III (which currently only fit in 17" and larger notebooks). The Acer 5920 is a 15" notebook, so it would not support a type III 8700 :) The 8600 is still a pretty decent card, and while the 8700 would preform better than it - it would not be by a hugely significant amount (depends on what you are using it on). What is it that your 8600 doesn't do well enough that you think the 8700 would do better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimaxsahinabi Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 :) ...video card in 5920g uses gddr2 and and after 2 years may be it can't open games easily as today.and i am living in turkey.here electronics are so expensive because of taxes(for example ASUS G1S ' s price is 2830 $ in here).i thought that may be i can change video card later,and so i won't have to give a lot of money again for a new one... somebody says that,there is a slot in 5920g.can it be for SLI...and so,can i use a second video card in my acer.

Ice-Tea Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hi, It is a single MXM slot. If you are lucky, there will be something like a 9600GT in two years time and you could upgrade to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Billy Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I would be interested in replacing my256mb 8600m GT w/DDR2 for a 512mb 8600m GT w/DDR3. When will you be carrying these, and what might the cost be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice-Tea Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I'm currently still trying to find 8600 cards that actually work on other MXM platforms. So I really can't comment on price or details right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerXML Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 What really is the preformence difference between the 8600MGT 512MB GDDR2 and the 8600MGT 265MB GDDR3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 AW-Zero => Do you know a shop that sells 8700Ms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice-Tea Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Depends on why you need them. They seem incompatible with "older" mxm hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan_psp Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 does anyone know that my Vaio will be able to change from go7600GT to 8700M GT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sleepy Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I read about nvidia planning to introduce the 8800 into notebooks and will consume only 22W. There is a tiny possibilty that this one could be a MXM II if it only consumes 22W but it is more probable that the next MXM II card will be the 9600. What really is the preformence difference between the 8600MGT 512MB GDDR2 and the 8600MGT 265MB GDDR3. the 8600 with gddr3 is about 15% faster. I have the C90s with a 8600GT 512MB gddr2 and reach a 3dmark06 score of 3350 but I run it overclocked at 500gpu/475memory clock (stock is 475/400) and the 8600GT 256MB gddr3 gets a 3dmark06 score of 36xx without overclocking it that means it is prossible to reach a score of 42xx with it.

__-_-_-__ Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 The 8700 is a type III (which currently only fit in 17" and larger notebooks). There are some 15" that have type III like asus Z81sp. http://www.ajump.com/ajump/product.asp?dep...p;pf_id=6A40168 The ajump link as an internet worm: viruslist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
