Anyone know which drivers you need to download for Laptops?

The mobility driver on the web site does not have the X1600 listed (older
pre X1000 cards only) and the standard drivers will not recognise the card
when you attempt to load them?

PCI-Ex X1600 512MB (256MB shared)

Acer 8204 laptop



Dazzer

I found new drivers for my laptop ASUS A6Ja which has exactly the same
graphics chip from Asus website directly, under downloads for this
particular laptop model. Try Acer website for updated drivers.

Odd that Ati doesn't release generic mobility drivers for X1000 series
(yet), but instead manufacturer branded drivers.

I did try Omega drivers and they did seem to work otherwise, but the
TV-out (s-video) stopped working properly. That could actually be
related to why generic drivers don't work; different laptop
manufacturers have slightly different output electronics. My Asus has
three video outputs: RGB, DVI and S-video. How about your Acer?

Ps. Impressive gfx performance for a laptop imo. Has almost double the
speed on certain benchmarks when compared with my desktop PC which has
6600GT. Though the Centrino Duo on the laptop propably plays a big part
on that.

These are from a while back, so I have no idea what increase/decrease
newer drivers might have had. As you can see a very big difference in
CPUMarks (4576 vs 1791) which is to be expected since my 2400+ is
getting a bit old and the mobo only supports DDR266 memory speed. 3DM'06
shows a similar performance difference, just the numbers are smaller.

Thanks all, it pretty much what i was expecting from the x1600 and the
6800gtx.

It the 6800gtx has a good score and hit the x1600xt from 600points.
does the 6800gtx have 16pipeplines vs 12 on the x1600xt???

And it is still true that nvidia card has better performance on a
nvidia base mobo???
