Performance 1 (Best Graphics Cards to date)
ATI Mobility Radeon X1900
At the moment, the ATI Mobility Radeon X1900 is the top video card from ATI for notebooks. The performance is better than X1800 / 7900GS. Due to heat problems the marketing was delayed but now this problem seems to be fixed. According first reports it is about 12% faster than a X1800 (Alienware configurator).

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX SLI
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX SLI are two Geforce 7800GTX video cards for notebooks combined by SLI on NVidia NForce 4 SLI mainboard. It was the top graphic card of the 7000 series from NVidia before the introduction of the 7900.

- application area: big and heavy notebooks
- other infos: two times higher current consumption than a single card
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX
The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX is top of the mobile graphic cards line from NVIDIA (of the 7000 series) and predecessor of the 7900 GTX graphics card. It enables the user to play all current (10/2006) games fluently in the highest resolutions and options. As a consequence, the heat is correspondingly high. Therefore it can be used only in DTR laptops (17"). At moment, there is nothing better for gamers.
The performance can be compared partially even with the Desktop 7950 GT video cards (partially a bit better, according NVIDIA).
