i've got an 8400m gs and i downgraded to windows xp coz vista was too slow for me, ive installed the driver 169.09 and i can run crysis demo on high detail with objects detail to low, i used 800x600 res and got 5-10 fps, thats good yes?

8400M is not going to have you playing modern games at high quality. It's a modern card (8), but it would be considered midrange at best (400). 5-10fps is unplayable (it will be all jerky). Turn the settings down if you want to play, I'm afraid.

i turned everything to low, EVERYTHING
and i got a max of 69 fps and minimum of 15 fps, not very constant

my processcor is amd turion 1.9ghz, 2gb ram, windows xp so seeing as my memory only passes minimum and recommended i would think that my fps r alright

I would call that a playable framerate, personally. What you've got to do is play the game and see if you are comfortable playing it at those settings. If it's too slow, you will really feel it as you play.

No game is playable until it runs at >9000fps.

8400m, hmm, the return of TurboCache? As far as I know, 8400 GPU uses memory from the DDR2 module in your laptop which is not so great for texture heavy games.

lol 9000fps, not alot then.
where can i get a card that will do that? and does is support DX5000?

Slightly obscure internet memes ftw.

"Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his framerate?"
"It's OVER NINE THOOOOOUSAND!" *breaks glasses things*

lolmark
glass thing be called scouter*
hangs head in shame

lol XD i remember playing on my really old comp:
pentium 2 350mhz
191mb ram
ati rage IIc 4mb (can u believe it?! 4mb?!)
i lagged so much playing counter strike condition zero. i had 1 frame every 3 seconds lol.

Heh, that's pretty bad, lol.

And Goderer, I don't watch DBZ.

how much better is the 8400m gt over the 8400m gs?

Not that much, but it may be noticeable.

i got my 8400m gs in a 17" laptop, lots of websites say that it should be in small and portable laptops, how come such a small gpu is in such a big laptop?

me neither anymore.
the shame was of me still knowing.

i'll stay clear on this convo, i know nothing about laptops. nasty things >_<

Because it's cheaper, basically. The 8400 is much cheaper than the faster GPUs.

Those cheap ********s

Well to be fair, if they put a more expensive chip in, the laptop would have to cost more...

HP are famous for putting AMD "cough" overheating "cough" Turions into their laptops

i managed to find this quote about 8400m gs.
im guessing the guy who said it didnt have breakfast that day:

Turions are alright, I have one in my Laptop running folding constantly, and it gets hot, but doesn't overheat. I would rather have a Core2, but I couldn't get that and a tablet, and tablet was more important.

And that guy is probably pretty accurate, they're not outstandingly powerful.
