There aren't any notebooks with 5870M for under $1000,the cheapest option is
MSI GX640 which costs about $1100

Thanks Maziar, that's pretty close to what I am looking for. I am going to keep this question open for a little bit longer just in case someone finds a laptop with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 that is under $1000.

So, does ANYBODY know of a laptop with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 that is under $1000?


Thanks for the help,

You aren't gong to get any answers because there aren't any laptops with 5870M for under $1000 period.

ya maziar is right. but just for ur info, the 5850 in the GX640 is by name a 5850 but infact its much better.. its more like a slightly lowerclocked 5870m (or a very high clocked 5850), and because of this labelled a 5850 and not a 5870. if u look at the benchmarks, u will be surprised to see how low the difference in benchmarks actually is.. infact i will give u the comparison right here and now..

BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY 2, 1920X1080 RESOLUTION, HIGH SETTINGS, HBAO ON, 8XAF 4XAA

FPS of GX640 : 30.8
FPS of notebook with 5870 and core i7 720qm: between 30.8 and 31.8 (taken from different notebooks)

COD Modernwarefare 2, 1920x1080, high settings
FPS of GX640: 46.7
FPS of 5870 with i7 720qm: between 48.7 and 51.1

DIRT 2: 1920x1080 ultra preset AF, 4x AA
FPS of GX640 :31.8
FPS of 5870 with i7 720qm: 29.5 to 33.8


as u can see, there barely any different. just a few FPS, at most 3 to 4 FPS.. not worth extra money i would say.

I highly doubt it, the 5850M used in MSI GX640 isn't OC'd by default, and its slower than a 5870M,so your results maybe from a OC'd card.

well in most laptops such as Aspire 5943G-728G64, the 5850 is 800@625MHZ, while in the GX640 its 1000@625MHZ...

...atleast thats what notebookcheck says.

I'll keep this thread open just in case something new comes available.

Not anymore,because posting the same thing more than once is called duplicating and since there won't be any laptops with a 5870M under $1000 for now(maybe until the next gen cards),this thread is closed.
Check some online stores for prices.
