    lol how did you figure this out "Acer VG.M9606.004 VGA BD.M96.1GB.900MHZ.MXM" to be a hd4670?

    Anyways, how does this compare to a high oc 9600m gt? The main reason I liked the 9600m gt is that it uses only 23 watts. According to notebook check, this uses 35watts.

    Someone put a hd4670 in his gx620 and the 9600m GT was blown out of the water. Remember that the hd4670 is supposed perform better than the 9700m GTS.

    But it seems to be a different story on a desktop.

    The HD4670 can come close to a 9600GSO, but a 9600GT, quite unlikely.

    Well, unless nVidia has funny naming conventions for the mobile counterpart.

    That's because the desktop 9600 has a 256 bit bus width and the mobile version has 128 bit bus width.

    they have EX625 parts but no modules.... :mad: Are you sure it's MXM-A? I though the 8935 used the older MXM ports?

    It surely wont be just -A itl be 3a most likely, but i'd expect it to be mxm 2 but since its performing in 9700m gts region its likely ATI's lower of high end cards, so it should be 3.

    I'm sure, I saw it with my eyes, 8935G is using MXM 3.0 connector. Too bad, isn't it :mad:

    Why there are no modules :confused: Do you know the part number of MSI's HD4670?
