Video Card Question

Anonymous — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:36:46 GMT

I saw where there is a video card section but of course the one I am looking at isn't listed. Has anyone had any experience with: Nvidia GeForce GO 9600 GT? 512mb version

It is a laptop card and I was told to put out the word to see if anyone is using it and if it works well.

Thanks!

I just bought a new laptop:

CUSTOM NOTEBOOK, MSI MS-1722 (GX720) Core2 Performance Notebook, 17" WUXGA/WSXGA+ TFT LCD, NVIDIA. GeForce. 9600M GT 512MB Graphics
MICROSTAR, MS-172226-003 (GX720) Core 2 Duo Notebook Barebone, Socket P, Intel. GM45, 17" TFT WUXGA TFT Matte, SATA, BT, Integrated NVIDIA. GeForce. 9600M GT Graphics

INTEL, Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz Processor, 1066MHz FSB, 3MB L2 cache, 25.0W, 45nm, Retail

KINGSTON, 4GB (2 x 2GB) HyperX PC2-6400 DDR2 800MHz SDRAM SODIMM, CL5 (5-5-5-18), Non-ECC

WESTERN DIGITAL, 320GB Scorpio. Black WD3200BEKT, 7200-RPM, 16MB cache, 2.5-Inch, SATA 3 Gb/s, OEM

Which I thought would be more than sufficient to run ArchiCAD 11 with Win XP Pro 64 bit, but I am having issues in 3D with rotating and viewing my model in OpenGL.

It works just fine on my desktop:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+
3.00 GB of RAM
GeFore 7600 GS
Win XP Pro 64 bit

Where did I go wrong on the laptop? I have the latest NVIDIA drivers and have been checking their user forums for answers as well. Any thoughts or suggestions? I am I missing some kind of additional setting that will improve performance?

I had similar problems with my laptop but all was resolved when I updated AC... I think they fixed this problem two updates ago.

et al,
What about a GeForce 8800GS in the dreaded aluminum frame iMac 24? Mine is have flashes, and it's still under warranty. My genius wants to see if he cam jam the 8800GS in place of the factory ATI D2600.

There have been several threads but no resolutions. What is the reasoning?
