ATi x800 Mobility or nVidia GeForce 6800 Go?

[Rodex]

I am purchasing an alienware 51m laptop and i cant decide which video card to choose, they are both the same price. Anyone know overall which is better for performance and graphics? Is there even a difference.

I have a alienware desktop and I have a ati radeon x850 xt and the graphics are great. But I would go with the x800.

good luck,

sebastian :approve:

It depends if the 6800 is ddr or ddr3. If it's ddr it's worse than a x800, but if it's ddr3 it's better than the x800.

I've got a 6800 Ultra Go and the performance is simply amazing for a laptop. I've never used the x800 mobile series so I can't really compare the two - but believe me you won't be disappointed by the 6800's performance.
