The new Dell Studio XPS 16 (1640) sports an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670 and maybe you are disappointed, because you expected a Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT. So what is the actual gaming performance of the Mobility Radeon HD 3670? The first reviews have popped out, so we can compare a few scores:
| Game and configuration | HD 3670 (fps) | 9600M GT (fps) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crysis: Medium details, 1024×768, AA off, AF off | 16.2 | 17.8* | PC Magazine |
| Crysis: High details, 1920×1080, AA off, AF 4x | 1.6 | 1.8* | PC Magazine |
| World in Conflict: Medium details, 1024×768, AA off, AF off | 18 | 20* | PC Magazine |
| World in Conflict: High details, 1920×1080, AA off, AF 4x | 6 | 7* | PC Magazine |
| Unreal Tournament 3: unspecified details, 1280×800, AA off, AF off | 57.3 | 64.3** | CNET |
| F.E.A.R.: Autodetect, 1024×768 | 77 | 77* | Laptop Magazine |
| F.E.A.R.: Maximum detail, 1920×1080 | 24 | N.D. | Laptop Magazine |
* 512 MB DDR2 version, with an Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 (2.8 GHz, 6 MB cache)
** 512 MB GDDR3 version, with an Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 (2.8 GHz, 6 MB cache)
All benchmarks for the Mobility Radeon HD 3670 (512 MB GDDR3) were performed using an Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.4 GHz, 3 MB cache). So it is hard to tell if the 10% advantage in favor of the Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT DDR2 is because of the graphics card itself or because of the faster processor. Anyway, both the Mobility Radeon HD 3670 and the GeForce 9600M GT DDR2 are clearly very similar in performance.
Please tell me about any more gaming benchmarks you can find!

“clerarly” should be “clearly”.
Ooops! Thanks!
I find these numbers highly doubtful. I myself sport an nVidia 9600m and I get 20 fps with details all on Very High, AA 16q.
How do i now if 9600gt from a laptop is ddr2 or gddr3(before i buy it)?
It has to be documented somewhere, or you can look for users that have purchased it. What’s the laptop?
Hp Pavilion 3090ro. The only information about the video card(in genere) is just the quantity of memory. Where i liv, the laptops are more rare then UFO.
I have never seen a 9600M GT with GDDR3 memory in an HP, so it’s safe to assume it’s DDR2. Acer and MSI, and I think LG (and maybe others), have used GDDR3 versions of the 9600M GT in some laptops.
Thank you very much for your answer and for your time.
