If your not gonna touch the cpu, then it almost wont matter, except the G51 has an led backlit display and backlit chiclet keyboard if thats you then go for it the GPU is better but in the upcoming world of games it will be useless on a P7350.

If your going to upgrade the cpu mind as well start with a better gpu. Really all in all because their coming out with a 1000 dollar base model then I would say go for the G51. I was not expecting a release model under 1200.

Six, one is reserved for use by Cell OS.

I have just installed Call of Duty 2 and played a little. It seems odd that G50Vt cannot handle it properly. I max out setting (native resolution), 4x AA. FPS never passes 70. It usually stays at 41-55, sometimes it drops to 21, which causes sudden lags.
My lappy is on stock setting, with little underclocking by RMClock. I already installed Patch 1.3 which makes CoD2 multiple-core ready.
Edit: I install CoD2 on my desktop, and it work great, FPS jumps to 95-121 so I have to use V-Sync to force it stays at 60. My desktop specs: Athlon64 X2 3800+ (2.00GHz), 2*1GB DDR2-800, 512MB 9600GT. 9600GT is not much stronger than 9800M GS, but my Athlon64 X2 3800+ is inferior to T9400.

Maybe a driver issue. What OS does each machine have?

As for the video cards, in terms of performance the 9800m GTS is faster than a 9600GT, just not as fast as a 9800 GT.

If you wish to get techinical 8, one disabled, one reserved by the os, leaving 6.

I don't overclock my lappy, so it's just 9800M GS, not GTS. Both computer are running Vista (I love Vista

).
Maybe I found the reason: resolution. On lappy, I play on 1680*1050, but on desktop, I only play on 1024*768. The difference in resolution cause a huge difference in performance.

well there we go.

Although you should be getting much higher than 70fps in CoD2. I get between 45-60 in CoD5, a game that is 4 years newer.

redguardsoldier · 06-26-2009, 10:00 PM

I got the same FPS in CoD5. I don't know what happens with CoD2.

There's a bug in CoD2, turning on multiGPU will give you a tremendous FPS increase.

This should get you more info on it and how to use it.

You mean turning on "Optimize for SLI" option? Although SLI only exists in my dream?
