NVIDIA GeForce Go 7700

► remove from comparison NVIDIA GeForce Go 7700

The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7700 is the successor of the NVidia GeForce Go 7600 video card for notebooks. It is built in 80nm process and its performance is between GeForce Go 7600 and 7600 GT. The performance can be compared to a modern 8600M GS card but without DirectX 10 support.

The PureVide technology allows to accellerate the video decoding of H.264, WMV, VC-1, and MPEG-4 (also HD). > PureVideo Product Comparison

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800

► remove from comparison NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 is the small sister (less pipelines, low clocked) of the 7800 GTX video cards for notebooks. It is a very fast graphic card and allows good gaming performance. It was replaced by the GeForce Go 7900 GS. It is designed for heavy DTR laptops and it is compareable with a current 8600M GT (performance-wise).

The chip also features the PureVideo Technology but has less features as the PureVideo engine in the current 8600M GT chip. > Comparison of PureVideo features

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX

► remove from comparison NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX was the top graphic card of the 7000 series from NVidia before the introduction of the 7900. It is still as fast, as a current (2008) middle class card in DirectX 9 games.

The chip also features the PureVideo Technology but has less features as the PureVideo engine in the current 8600M GT chip. > Comparison of PureVideo features
