starfox5194 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 ok i want a macbook pro really badly because i think it is link an ultimate laptop. the thing is i'm a major fan of emulation. (PCSX2=awesome) and a gamer and i need a computer upgrade badly to play all of these great games (battlefield 2142 and stuff) I'm a little worried because the best part of my pc is a nvidia geforce 7600 GT AGP GFX card. Everything else is 10 years old. i'm thinking about getting a macbook pro around the leopard release and dualboot with vista. By the time leopard is released i'm thinking there will be a gfx card upgrade but idk. my question is. How bad is a ati x1600 compared to a geforce 7600 GT anyone have any advice.... P.S. i'm already going to replace the hdd with a 7200 rpm 250 gb one. i don't know if there is any card swap or something like tht.

U.C. Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 The x1600 is more along the lines of a 6600GT. Approximately half the performance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50649-thinking-about-getting-mac-book-pro/#findComment-363331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFI Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 The x1600 is more along the lines of a 6600GT. Approximately half the performance. Not even. They're both equally powerful, however quality wise, ATI is still ahead (when comparing the anti-aliasing quality). A 6600GT is not half the performance of a 7600GT...its more like 3/4.
