Comparison Notebook NVIDIA and ATI Graphics

Explanation Integrated Graphics

An integrated graphics called when the graphics functions that exist in a chip that performs as well as communication with the processor, memory, graphics functions as well. Examples of integrated graphics that are used in notebooks currently on the market Indonesia:

ATI Mobility Radeon HD3200
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator - GMA) 900 / 950 / X3100 / X4500M / X4500MHD
NVIDIA GeForce 9100M / 9400M
SiS Mirage 3 +
VIA Chrome9
Initial benefits from the integrated graphics in terms of low power consumption so that capacity notebook battery can last longer. The next advantage of the integrated graphics is a more physically compact and more efficient place so that the notebook can be made thinner or smaller. Can be seen under a picture of examples 2 integrated graphics. The left is from Intel, while the right NVIDIA.

Physical is just a chip and a controller processor. NVIDIA even more efficient by integrating graphics, controller processor, and peripherals in a single controller chip (Intel currently consists of 2 chips). Memory for graphics taken from the computer main memory.

Explanation Dedicated Graphics

When on the desktop and workstation graphics systems come in a great physical and plugged into the PCI Express slot, the system dedicated graphics to ATI and NVIDIA smaller physical notebook. Let's look at some examples of notebook graphics images.

Some notebook manufacturers chose a dedicated ATI graphics system and NVIDIA made in the form of a standard module called Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM). Theoretically this module system allows us to upgrade graphics card from the old to the new one. In fact not that easy. At least in Indonesia, MXM graphics module is not easy to find. Technical issues in this module specification was also not always compatible, so the ease of upgrades also decreases.

Choice of ATI and NVIDIA Graphics in Notebooks

The table is organized first by paying attention in class divisions and the NVIDIA website put the card from ATI with the average performance of 3D Mark 06 is comparable to the same classification. 3D Mark 06 figures quoted from notebookcheck.net website.

3D Mark 06 Score obtained by Notebookcheck.net are average figures of many benchmarks done by the other party. If there is an odd number which seems to have a class graphics higher rates but a lower rating, then chances are there is a configuration that is not the optimum benchmark in the unit under test units. Type of processor, type of graphics memory (DDR2, GDDR3 or GDDR5) and the large main memory type all influence benchmark results.

3DMark 06 is one of many benchmarks from Futuremark. Benchmark measures the system's ability to run DirectX 3D gaming applications on the computer 9.

Configuring Integrated Graphics + Graphics Dedicated. Technology ATI and NVIDIA both support the use of two graphics in a notebook. An example is the Apple Macbook Pro notebook that uses unibody NVIDIA 9400M integrated graphics and NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT dedicated graphics in a notebook. If we want to save electricity, then we arrange for you to use integrated graphics for maximum battery. If we want to edit video or graphics processing, the graphics used dedicatedlah. Asus N10J is another example of the integrated Intel GMA950 and NVIDIA 9300M GS dedicated in one notebook.

Configuring Two Dedicated Graphics fruit. NVIDIA mention this as an SLI configuration. AMD CrossFire name. Both the ability to connect two graphics to divide tasks and reach the graphics calculations gaming capabilities higher faster. Currently in Indonesia there are no notebooks with dual graphics specially promoted for a high price.

Options Graphics 2D and 3D Workstations

NVIDIA Quadro NVS series NVIDIA graphics for business applications. Examples of these products is the graphics Quadro NVS 140M and 160M in Lenovo ThinkPad notebooks and Dell Latitude. Quadro NVS Keunggualn here is the ability to run Dual Display (two external monitors). This configuration would be useful for CAD / CAM, as well as application monitoring stock prices. Optimization of business graphics cards are also not towards gaming, but towards the stability of running office applications.

Class graphics for CAD applications and high-middle class served by a series of NVIDIA Quadro FX Mobile Workstation and the ATI Mobility FireGL. Lenovo ThinkPad W500 and W700 are two examples of notebooks with FireGL graphics
