Graphics Card Pickle

[SAS_Andy_McNab]

Hi I know this is not a related BF2 question but I thought that there might be some people out there who know a little more about graphics cards than me. At the moment I'm using my laptop to play BF2 it got a GeForce FX Go 5100 128mb DDR graphics card. I have to run everything on low setting so I’m getting a new laptop but here’s the question. Which of the two setups below would be best suited for games mainly BF2.

Intel Centrino 1.73Ghz
Quadro FX1400 256mb Graphics Card

Or

AMD Turion64 MT30
Nvidia GeForce go 7300 256MB Graphics Card

Each systems have identical specifications apart from the processor and graphics which of course make a big difference. Any help?

But both those suck. You getting a desktop replacement or a portable Laptop? Go with dell because you can get good nvidia go cards for decently cheap with coupons.

Its for a portable Laptop, as far as I know these are the best graphics cards you can get for a Laptop at the moment. Plus I think there both in the top 10 graphics card portable or desktop full stop.

I'd say look at cnet.com for your best deal and video card. They usually have good reviews. There are some light laptops that have the go 6800 256 I have seen, I would check that out!

I really like the pentium m (the only good intel proc nowadays), but I'd go for the geforce go one, simply because that card is designed for gaming, while the quadro isn't.

Re: Graphics Card Pickle

Of those two the 7300 card with the AMD will do a bit better. But like was said you can get a better video card. The 7800 Go should be out.
