Mushu Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Which one do you guys think is better? I think it's the 7150M because its newer and stuff. But I have a old Alienware laptop with 5700 and I was wondering about that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mushu Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Yeah I agree about if something is newer doesn't mean its bettter. I'm pretty sure the 7150M has 128MB dedicated memory max though. Edited November 6, 2008 by Shaythong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galdere Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) He has the right info for the 7150M. You should know :-) EDIT: Please don't edit your posts when people have replied to what you've said. Thanks Edited November 6, 2008 by Galdere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushu Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Yeah, and cool thing is that there are two 5700 versions. I think there are GeForce FX 5700, 5700LE, and ultra. I think the old laptop has the standard 5700 if I remember correctly. :) The old laptop is kinda fat and so heavy but gaming performance was good before I switched to this. I should try using the old laptop again this weekend and compare the two. Does Vista run okay on the 5700?

Galdere Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I meant Peter does. The 7150M has no dedicated memory, it's shared. http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4145 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushu Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Weird, in the NVIDIA Control Panel and BIOS it says dedicated memory is set to 128MB, oh well maybe I read it wrong. I've already read that article but it's pretty interesting. Edited November 6, 2008 by Shaythong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galdere Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'd stick with XP for either of those cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galdere Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 The fact that it's set in the BIOS means it's a "dedicated" shared allocation from system RAM, not separate graphics only RAM. 7150M is integrated graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushu Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Sorry about the editing post thing, I did before refreshing so my bad. So basically saying that the 5700 will run like CounterStrike: Source, GTA: SA and so on better than this 7150M? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galdere Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 The 7150m has shader 3.0 support and purevideo, but the 5700 is a better performer, not taking into account that the 7150 is probably in a better overall spec machine. You are probably right to use the more modern laptop, but Peter is right that the 5700 is better than the 7150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushu Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Please look at the two images of GPU-Z and CPU-Z on each laptop. Alienware HP Performance of the GPU and possibly the CPU might be better on the old laptop, but the newer cards may be more precise, light-weight, and more power-efficient. I find the new laptop with 7150M to be better then the Alienware. Edited November 7, 2008 by Shaythong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew55 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 The AMD CPU is better and newer than the Pentium 4 so expect that to perform quite a bit better (except in games that don't support dual core technology), also you may find that although the 7150m is slower than the 5700, in some games the 7150m will perform better (newer games to be precise, and by this I don't mean Crysis). Expect slightly better performance from the new laptop though and know that it is mostly attributed to your CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushu Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Most games and software I use don't use dual core yet. Although in the future I may. I'd use the old laptop but the fan is loud and it clicks (I've opened it up several times, cleaned things out, and everything). It only has 1.5GB of RAM and like 40GB HDD or something. I wouldn't use that. The new laptop components aren't the same type as the old one. The new one works better anyways for now because of the higher disk space, newer components, better processor, and more RAM.

Mushu Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) How does the 5700 have better clocks if Performance 3D is GPU Core 350 and GPU Mem is 200? Must because the GPU memory actually has 200. Edited December 20, 2008 by Shaythong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 My ancient 5700 was a happy overclocker, especially the memory. Core 380, memory 680 was working well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
