Hm, seems the 8600 GS isn't really that much faster than the current X1700 or 7700, at least according to these benchmarks. Am I missing something?

 

No, the 8600M GS is quite under powered compared to the GT version.

 

Although I'd like to see real world comparisons, these prelims make me feel better about splurging for the G1S v. the B1

Edit:

Ken, does the G1S look relatively the same as compared to the G1?

 

We will see how Dual-Channel comes up.

 

Pretty much the same except the G1S has HDMI and E-SATA port in the back:



Wifi-N with 3 wires:

 

And the c90s does have the GT not the GS right?

 

Yes, it's GT 512MB

 

Phew, I dont feel so bad now for decided to go with the G1s.

I'm not really a fan of the lights and 'gamer' stuff though.
Oh well, I can deal with it.

 

i can feel you on that. i'm not a big fan of the gamer look too. but it's aimed for gamers and i guess thats me

 

Seems like the G1S blows the F3 out of the water (although i think that was expected). So now the question is, do you splurge and drop the extra 300 for the G1S

 

Hey Ken, if at all possible, Could you please give us some real-life comparison in some demanding games? And maybe also include a x1700 or go7700? pwease ?

 

How is the resolution on the 15.4"? I'm still trying to decide between the g1s and g2s ><

 

I guess I can, I have BF2 and maybe try download some other demos, I wish I can find some demos that also supports DX10.

 

I was thinking of getting the F3Sv, Now Im leaning more towards the Zepto with the GT, I can beleive what a huge score difference there is o.o On the Zepto website their claiming 4100 3dmark06 points, but their battery life is hideous. 2.5 hours with 6 cell and 4.5 hours with the 12 cell (which dosent make much sense, shouldnt it be 5 hours?)

 

Saaaaankyaaaaa (thank you in engrish)

 

You can run the Lost Planet DX10 demo.

Thanks, and it's CAPCOM"S GAME!!!!

 

Can you post 3dmark05 scores please?

 

Thanks alot, I was waiting for someone to get some benchmarks up.The G1s seems pretty nice . Can I ask what kind of hard drive you had on it, 80gb 7200RPM?

 

Why would such a higher-end laptop comes with a 80gb HDD? I believe it comes with a 160GB 5400rpm, but it's upgradable to better ones.

 

I get a error message when try to install it on vista, I guess it's not compatible.

 

YAY!! The G1S is actually a reasonable improvement over the G1P! Good job Asus!!!

btw, after careful considerations and talking to most of the resellers (some of you just on the forums), I have decided to buy my G1S from you guys at GenTech! Probably closer to next thursday, when I get my paycheck (been an expensive couple of weeks =P, but I can afford a new computer, hell I need one!). I think posting this thread might have pushed me over! Thanks GenTech!

 

the 06 score on the 8600 gs is below the 7700 go.

I think its below the 7600 go. Its around the same. Its really slower actually when you consider the cpu is faster.

 

the Lost Planet demo on both DX9 and DX10 has a lot issues, I've tested it on S96J with DX9 version and got some error messages, a lot people seems to have the same problem:

http://www.capcom.com/BBS/showthread.php?t=14063

Same problem with DX10 version:

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/lostplanet/download_6170582.html

I am now downloading the latest directX update to see if it works.

 

What clock does the core, memory and shaders run at default?
How does the battery life look?

 

I'll test battery life in the future, it'll take time.

 

Wow 68C at default? Is that running anything? Sounds like the fan would be going non stop. Battery is one of my biggest concerns, I really doubt the 4 hours on 6 cell the Asus spec sheet is claiming.

 

It's around the same temps as my X1600 :
See this for more info : http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3665

 

3 IE windows open, installing programs in the background, system is at High Performance mode.

 

This is GDDR3 right? The Zepto 8600M GT only has GDDR2 running at 400mhz but was overclockable to about 450mhz. I wonder how high you can push the G1s without running into problems.

 

Both GT and GS are DDR3.
I haven't overclock it yet, I'am running Lost Planet DX9 Demo performance test.

 

Then the GS runs at a basic ram speed of 133mhz? Sounds like it must be very cheap vram or super overclockable!

 

Is the Lost Planet performance test running in the loop non stop? or should I stop it?

 

Both G1S and F3SV shipped with 160GB 5400RPM S-ATA.

 

3630 vs 2032??

Is this a joke?

 

Enough of this 3dmark garbage. Let's see some real world performance!!!

 

Unless there are big driver issues the 8600M GS is a downgrade compared to the go7700 and only a very small upgrade when compared to the go7600 and x1600/x1700.

I dont really understand this. I was expecting the 8400M GT to reach 2000 3dMarks

 

ya actually in the past the score difference between a 7600 and a 7800 go would be less than this, the next model up is roughly twice the speed. This gpu is actually more than twice the speed.

several of the tests are cpu only so if you consider 3/10 the score is tied, 7 of 10 the gpu is twice the speed.

I think someone overclocked the zepto and got to 4400 or something like that, so Id like to see what the 8600 gs can overclock to.

 

Yepp the Lost Planet benchmark is running in a loop, does not give you any final numbers, you better stop it...

 

ThankS Gentech
but u don't think its low score for G1S??
zepto claimed 4100
wat iz the core/mem speed
Did u try another new/moded drivers
What about some OC'in ;D
Thx

And expresscard too

ExpressCard in G1S is full 54 version or only 34?

Just for extra comparison, I had a quick google and got to the notebookcheck list of benchmarks for mobile cards - here's what that says for the 3dmark06 scores.

GeForce Go 7950 GTX - 5214
GeForce Go 7900 GTX - 4766
GeForce Go 7900 GS - 3800
GeForce Go 7700 - 2700

From this the score posted here for the 8600 GT is WELL above the 7700, and just below the 7900 GS, which makes it pretty nice in my books. The 8600 GS is considerably below the 7700, which I agree is disappointing.

Looking good for the GT here :b

 

Ken how are the speakers of F3SV-B1 compared to G1S? Also is there any difference in the sreen (brightness , viewing angle...)

 

I was a little apprehensive, but I always felt like the 8600GT would be something special for lappy owners. (OC'd it gets close to the 7900 GTX!!!)

 

What are you getting for battery life?

 

Poor ATI...is no one hoping for a HD 2600 XT lappy from Asus at all?

 

We would, but most of us are buying in the now-ish range. The 2600XT won't be out until the fall.

 

3Dmark06 scores only go halfway in comparing performance between cards and this its especially difficult with different generation cards..

I think some real world game benchmarks should be checked out to gauge the performance of the 8600M GT or the 8600M GS.. Especially new age games with good pixel shader usage as this is where the new gen cards shine.
