anybody have any experience with this graphics card, in a laptop? wondering what its limits are
-
Tested one in the new Dell XPS laptop (XPS M1210), barely just ran Jedi Academy (which is pretty old now and uses quake 3 engine). Not recommended for recent games, but probably just good enough for average, mid games, if its gaming your after, might want to consider something a bit higher than that
* Edit – I tell a lie it was the 7400 GO in the M1210, so this one will probably be slower than that one.

I was just wonderin what its capabilities were. hoping it can run HL2. Cheers dave :D

You havn’t a monkies chance in hell of running newer games with the 7200GO. The minimum you should be looking at is the 7400Go however I’d be very surprised if it couldnt run a Quake 3 game. Heres a review of a Sony laptop with that card. Link Not sure how the other specs compare with the machine you’re looking at but it doesnt look too positive I’m afraid. :?

You’ll run hl2 on it no probs, christ I could run hl2 on a radeon 9000, the source engine is fantasic on a wide range of cards and supports DX 8,9 shaders (does it support 7 I cant remember now), and still looks fantastic at lower settings. All this talk of hl2….wheres my crowbar ??
If you have $12,051 on you how about a laptop in a suitcase….or by the looks of it, a 2 tonne black box

But yeah, stay away if you can from the 7200/400 GO series if your all about the gaming side of it, even a 6800 ULTRA GO would sit on its face and let one rip.

Im not going to be using it for games, was just curious what the range was as a i never read or used anything with the lower 7000 series cards. All i need is for it to use max, photoshop, direct x model viewer, etc and more than likly alot of coding.
Its a new HP pavillion dv6000, AMD Turion 64 x 2 1.81ghz, 2048 ram, 100gb harddrive, built in 1.4 mp webcam, widescreen tft, bells and whistles and a partridge in a apple tree.

My laptop was a hp and never had any problems with it (as you should know when you had it ! – which reminds me – those stains ! ), the 7400 will be ok for the things you want then, just dont expect too much from recent games, but you should get away with things like hl2 and most games in low detail maybe even medium depending on how versitile the engine is.

the small dent on top gives it vintage character and the 172 mb hard drive is intimidating, il have 300 please! :lol:

I have a Acer laptop with a 7600 Go 256MB in it and that can easily run HL2 and Quake 4. Not so sure about the 7200 though, as it’s the lowest end version.
