I was curious what GPU in a laptop is sufficient for drivers and performance specially applicable to 3D effects.
Could someone comment (if in the know?)?
I was wondering what the min. specs would be for:
ATI, Nvidia, Intel...
I know most modern mobile graphics cards can handle 3D but is there certain ones that are 'safe?' to go with?
Also, Intel 4500 series are in a lot of laptops so what is the current status on them?
If I go for a laptop with Nvidia, it's probably a 9600GT up to GT220M (guessing). As for ATI cards, there is a wide range and I don't know how they rate but it could be anything from Radeon HD 36xx to 46xx.
Which should I look for?
I want the processor Intel Core 2 Duo based so T6600 up to Q9000 so maybe P7350/P7450 or P8400 (preferred). Is the loss of virtualization with some of the processors a huge deal? I thought using VT would be cool when trying VirtualBox.
Any comments or recommendations? ;-)
Budget is $900 and below.
