Hi, just wanted to know, i´ve been looking for some laptops around, but most of them have Nvidia graphics card, so i guess i´ll look for a laptop with a Nvidia graphics card then, but it most be closer to ati 4870x2, more or less, its ok, thanks!
Do you mean the desktop 4870 X2 or the one that came out for laptops and quickly disappeared? If you mean the equivalent to the desktop 4870, you can stop looking, there is no such thing. Laptop graphics cards are never as strong as their desktop counterparts, they just generate far too much heat and require too much power. However, if you are talking strictly laptop parts, then a laptop that is equipped with SLI GTX 280M's will be what you are looking for.

If you're under the impression the heavy power of something anywhere near a 4870X2 comes in a notebook that's 15" or less, you should probably stop looking for a notebook altogether. Heavy power requires heavy heatsinks and heavy batteries with large screens...etc.
So? You asked what the Mobility 4870X2 competes with in notebooks. It's competitor from nvidia is dual GTX280M's. What does the chip's architecture have to do with anything?
That´s all what i wanted to know , never thought that ati was that "powerful", i say this because everyone talks about the gtx280 in a very positive way, so thanks!!
