G1S 8600M GT vs F3SV-B1 8600M GS Benchmark

Your laptop at stock clock speeds will perform the similarly to the F3Sv reviewed in this thread, however it won't over clock as well due to the DDR2 memory.

And MHz stands for mega hertz, which is a measurement of the frequency of your card's components; more MHz = faster card.

 

is it true that the ASUS F3Sv (8600m GS) with 3gb of system memory performs better than the ASUS G1S(8600m GT) with 2gb of system memory? Someone was saying that Ken Lee from GenTechPc proved this..

please reply

 

Yes, it appears to be true. Read posts 371 through 378 of this thread.

 

Ah brilliant. Would this still apply if i had an F3Sv w/T7300 - 2Ghz 800Mhz FSB instead of the T7500 2.2Ghz tested in this review?

and will the ITM w/1GB make things faster at booting up? or slower, but make games run faster?

Thanks

 

The processor difference shouldn't matter much in most games, in some CPU heavy games like Supreme Commander you'll notice a difference, but the extra mem will still help out regardless of your processor.

And the ITM will (theoretically) make boot up and app loading times faster, but it will not affect in game performance, it may even make in game performance slower.

 

the placement of the rams need to take notice?for example between a 2gb and a 1gb ram which slots shd they be at?mind 2gb is at slot 1 and the 1gb is at slot 2

 

It doesn't matter which slot you put in.

 

okie,tks alot...^^

 

a lot new games coming out, here are some screenshots with Fraps, enjoy the screenshots :

wow i wouldve expected those frame-rates from COD4 on max settings not medium mind you theres still a massive ammount of detail on normal settings

 

Oh man. Would you mind running those tests with 3GB memory again?

 

Those were pretty high settings, 1680x1050, 4xAA, only the Dynamic Lighting and world Details were on medium.

 

I want to know if it is possible to uppgrade the graphic card on this laptop as it is with the asus c90s? I have to chose between these two laptops.

Thanks

 

wich laptop? The F3SV? The F8SV (14'' edition) has a 8600GT. the F3SA has a radeon 2600, wich is similar to the 8600GT

 

None of these laptops currently have the ability to upgrade the GPU... If that were the case, why would anyone buy a C90s?

 

none of those have the 8600M GT. However the F3Sv has the 8600M GS. In addition, the F3Sv's GPU at stock is so severely underclocked, it performs at 8400M GT levels.

 

Um.. the new F8 does have a 8600 GT....

 

I think it depends on the market, but it has it in NA.

 

The 8400M GT and the 8600M GS are almost the same cards even on nvidia's official GS speeds anyway. The 8400M GT is the desktop 8500GT and the 8600M GS is a bit overclocked

 

Crysis Demo


Setup:
DX10 Mode
G1S-A1
T7500
2GB DDR2 667
GeForce 8600M GT 256MB GDDR3
Driver: 169.02 no overclock
Core:475
Shader: 950
Memory: 700

 

oops, mis-read the post!

-----
edit: can you test crysis on the f3sv Ken?

 

Ken, you mind testing Crysis on the G1S with 3GB sometime? Thanks

 

Yes I can.
On Crysis, shader clock is what slows down the frame rate, if you set it's to low you will get around 30fps, if you want higher frame rate you will need to use riva tuner 2.5 to overclock the shader.

 

could anybody test hitman blood money
thanx

 

hey guys just wondering, did you test crysis on DX10 or DX9? if its in dx9, its a real shame the develepors didnt put any time into Optimising if for people with decent computors such as the g1s, which i must say is a beast for the price you can buy it for. i can play bioshock on 1280x800 with everything on MAX and dx10 shaders on and it plays around 25-50 fps with the 163.44 drivers (no overclock), i dont see why crysis would be SO MUCH different

chearz guys, Pans

 

the 8600M GT is a DX10 card. Why would u run a DX10 game with a DX10 card in DX9?

 

Because it performs better in DX9 and allows you to turn the settings up higher, so it looks better as well.

 

umm, that still dosent awnser my question, did this guy who did the benchmark of crysis and took the screenshots do it in dx9 or 10?

pans

 

Here you go:

Crysis Demo


Setup:
DX10 Mode
G1S-A1
T7500
3GB DDR2 667
GeForce 8600M GT 256MB GDDR3
Driver: 169.02 no overclock
Core:475
Shader: 950
Memory: 700

 

Yes I will.

 

So you get like a fps increase with 3GB ram, i was going to upgrade my G1S to to 3GB ram but people said you don't get an fps boost with it so i didn't do it...

How much is the fps increase?
Can you test it in Crysis dx9 mode?
2GB ram vs. 3GB ram
(With same settings of course ^^)

Thanks

 

I also have a G1S-A1 (no-overclock). But when it is under load, it runs at at least 90+ degree. Even when it is not under load, the core temperature is still at least 76 degree. Why is mine running so hot while yours is at about 69 degree (from I have seen)???? Thanks in advance.

 

90+ is a little bit high on G1S, my temperature of 69* was running at stock drivers no overclock, old BIOS I think it was 202, so drivers and BIOS shouldn't be the problem on yours.

Just like CPU, not all GPU performs exactly the same, there is always one or two GPU out of 100 runs hotter, if you experience system crash when play games then I suggest you RMA it.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Mine also hits 90+ sometimes.

 

wouldnt the model with the 2600 hd be superior to this? Theres something wrong here. f8sa for 1259

 

Superior to which? Certainly the F8sa is superior to the F3sv graphically, but they are completely different notebooks (different sizes, etc).

 

my mistake i was following a link in gentechs signature that i thought was going to a f8sv test

 

Well, the F3Sa outdoes the F3Sv, and its cheaper too.... Why did Asus do the pricing that way?

 

it's the LCD, F3SV's screen is more expensive.

 

Yes I do get fps increase with 3GB RAM with the settings I tested.

Sometimes you don't get fps increase with more RAM maybe is because the video settings in the game has reach GPU's limit.

One example, C90S's 8600M GT 512MB DDR2 and GDDR3 both can get 4700 overclocked on 3DMark06 at 1280X1024, but that's the highest 8600M GT can go even the GDDR3 has faster video RAM.

 

Hmm? The 8600M-GT (overclocked) can break 5000 at 1280x1024 with GDDR3.

 

Nope, I tested on C90S and it can only go up to 4700 at 1280X1024 with GDDR3, the 512MB DDR2 can only reach 4700 with BIOS level overclocking.

 

Perhaps it's a voltage problem on the C90s then? Because I've seen confirmed 5000+ scores on the 8600M-GT at 1280x1024. What's the max OC you've gotten on the GDDR3 card in the C90s?

 

could be the VGA BIOS, I can only get 4221 with G1S using driver level overclocking, 4700 on both C90S GDDR3 and DDR2 must be done by modify VGA BIOS.
