ATI Mobility FireGL V5250 vs ATI Mobility Radeon X1800XT vs ATI Mobility FireGL V5200

ATI Mobility FireGL V5250

► remove from comparison ATI Mobility FireGL V5250

The AMD ATI Mobility FireGL V5250 is a professional graphics adapter for notebooks. The core is based on the ATI Mobility Radeon X1700, which was a middle class graphics card at the time of offering. With modded Catalyst drivers, the V5250 can be modded to a X1700 with a better game performance but worse application performance.

The features of the card are identical to the ATI Mobility Radeon X1700.

 

ATI Mobility Radeon X1800XT

More pipelines and a faster clockspeed enable the X1800XT to have more performance than the X1800 and make it therefore good for elder DirectX 9 games. It is comparable with NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX.

ATI Mobility FireGL V5200

► remove from comparison ATI Mobility FireGL V5200

ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 is based on ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 for notebooks as probably the same chip was used. Only the Bios is different and allows the use of professional drivers (for CAD and 3D applications optimized). The standard Catalyst drivers can only be installed in a modded version. Therefore the V5200 becomes a X1600 (with the same performance). The professional drivers show a clearly reduced performance in games.
