Mobility Radeon X700: The Graphics of the Travelmate 8100

Performance at Other Resolutions
From our performance tests at 1280x1024, though most games are playable, we would like to see a slightly higher frame rate from the system. To satisfy our desire, we ran tests at 1024x768 for the games that we feel could benefit from some added frame rate. The results are as follows:| MRX700 1024x768 Performance | ||
| Without AA/AF | With AA/AF | |
| Doom 3 | 40.6 | 22.9 |
| FarCry | 27.1 | 16.8 |
| Halo | 52.6 | 44.4 |
The numbers for the lower resolution test are a little better than what we saw at 1280x1024. Just for fun, we also ran numbers at the notebook’s native resolution.
| MRX700 1680x1050 Performance | ||
| Without AA/AF | With AA/AF | |
| FarCry | 17.7 | 11.2 |
| Halo | 25.3 | 22.7 |
| Half-Life 2 | 47.5 | 26.9 |
It is interesting to note that Half-Life 2 is still playable at the display’s native resolution without AA and AF. None of the games that we tested are actually playable at native res with AA enabled.

This is something like 2x as fast as the 9700 mobility, get real. It is pretty much the equivalent of a 9700 pro desktop part, however.randomman - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link
I realize that it would not be an exact comparison, but could you add some old benchies from the 9700 Mobility and 9800 M. This would give a better point of comparison than just against a desktop sys.Also are there any things available talking about the differences in power optimizations between the old 9700 and the X700?

Is there much point to the review of of a notebook graphics chip that has NO comparison to any other mobile graphics chips?Personally I find the benchmarks in this review totally useless.

the big selling feature of this over the mobile 9700 is that it provides better battery life, it is also a more powerful chip than the mobile 9700onix - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link
How do we think graphics chip on this computer will compare to the Thinkpad T43p's ATI Mobility FIRE GL V3200 (128 MB)?bobsmith1492 - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link
Yeah, I play Doom 3 on medium, 1280x1024; runs pretty well. Same processor too; P-M, but with regular DDR, OCd to 2.125.trikster2 - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link
#6This is the same as the 9700 mobility????
Blech.
This is what we have been waiting for?

where is the pictures?bobsmith1492 - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link
So, basically this performs about the same as my 9700 mobility. Yay.L3p3rM355i4h - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link
ho hum...how much does this thing weigh? Surely not as much as that brick XPS.
