Mobile ATi or NViDiA ?? Hello
I Believe in HP & I want to buy this Laptop HP DV6 :
Core i5-430M ,6 GB DDR3,500 GB (7200 RPM) ,and the ATI HD 5650 graphics
the question is about the graphics card : I think it would be great for Medium-High quality Gaming and Designing (3Ds Max , Maya , ....) what do u think ?
and like a lot of people said :
Will I get problems with this card ??? (high temperature, early troubles, and other issues)
And they say you wouldn't have these problems if it's NVIDIA one | My System Specs |

Yeh, Nvidia havent quite got to grips with the mobile chipsets and do have well documented problems. Id stick with ATI for laptop graphics! | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Packard Bell MH36-U300 OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit CPU Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3400 @ 2.16GHz Memory 2GB DDR2 Graphics Card Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays 15" LCD Screen Resolution 1280 x 800 Case Notebook Hard Drives 320GB Western Digital Internet Speed 10Mbps |

Had GTX 280M's in SLi that I swapped out due to latency issues which have since been resolved by nVidia but my 2 ATi 4870M's in CrossFireX were almost problem free, only saw one GPU full speed and the second one 1/2 speed but it straightened out on reboot. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DELL XPS Studio 435T OS Vista 64 Ultimate, Windows 7 64 Ultimate, Ubuntu 9.10 CPU i7 975 3.3 GHz Extreme (Factory OC'd to 3.6 GHz) Motherboard DELL provided Memory 18 Gb Tri-Channel 1066 Graphics Card ATI 5970 2048 Mb Sound Card X-Fi Extreme Gamer Monitor(s) Displays Vizio 37" HD-TV Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech Performance K350 Wireless Mouse Logitech Performance MX Wireless PSU DELL Provided 475 watts Case DELL Cooling 3 fans Hard Drives 1.5 Tb HDD

Ugh! I wish I'd known about this when I bought my previous Toshiba Satellite! It had the nVidia GeForce 8700M GT. From the get-go, it had very strange problems, such as the screen resolution being reduced to the lowest upon bootup, UT2004 freezing with looping sound, then any media at all freezing with looping sound and eventually just BSOD after BSOD, always referencing something being wrong with the RAM or HDD, both of which tested fine in scans.
Now I'm wondering if all the problems I had with the damn thing weren't due to nVidia's incompetence. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Satellite P505-S8945 OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 CPU Intel Centrino Core2 Duo @ 2 GHz Motherboard Toshiba Memory 6 GB SDRAM Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon 4650 HD Sound Card Conexant Pebble HD Audio Screen Resolution 1680x945 Keyboard Logitech Standard USB Mouse Logitech Trackman Marble Wheel Hard Drives Toshiba MK5055GSX 453 GB

Now I'm wondering if all the problems I had with the damn thing weren't due to nVidia's incompetence. Most likely. I'd normally recommend either but nVIDIA really ruined it's name for the mobile GPU market with that. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 @ 3.2GHz Motherboard Asus P5Q PRO Turbo Memory 4GB DDR2-800 Graphics Card MSI Radeon HD 5850 Sound Card Creative Labs Audigy2 ZS Monitor(s) Displays Samsung 225BW PSU Corsair HX650 Case Antec Nine Hundred Hard Drives (2) 1TB Samsung F1, (2) 1.5TB Samsung F2, 1TB Samsung F2, 2TB Samsung F3 |

I use Nvidia for my desktop but their have been so many problems with laptops and Nvidias mobile grahics I'd go ATI.
Mmost Nvidia mobile or quite a few have had to have the,inf modified on older models to get them to work with Seven. Not sure about pre-loaded Seven with their graphics but sems ATI is getting a better review here so I'd say go with it.

Personally i have owned to very high end laptops a NP9262 and the one i am currently using a NP8120. I have never had any issues with any of my hardware if anything they have ran much better then i had expected, since i am a avid gamer i have always tried to find the best products and research everything pretty good before i made purchases. Call it luck or whatever i have never had a bad nvidia product.
But currently in the mobile gpu market i would have to say go for ati. More bang for your buck and not the same refreshed chipset over and over again. Although the new 480M's are coming or are out the the cost the performance ratio is well in favor of the ati cards. Maybe nvidia will gets is act together but for the time being i would get a ati 5870 if at all possible. Probably the best all around card on the market for mobile gamers if you are looking for a good cost to performance ratio. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Sager NP7280 OS Windows 7x64 SP1 CPU Intel® Core™ i7-990X Motherboard Clevo X7200 (X58) Memory 24GB Crucial DDR3 1333Mhz Graphics Card 2 x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580M SLI Sound Card Razer Megalodon Monitor(s) Displays Hanns-G 28 inch LCD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Laptop 1920x1200 Hanns-G Mouse Razer Mamba PSU 2 x 300W Chicony Cooling ZM-NC2000 Hard Drives 512GB Crucial M4
