ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 vs ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 vs ATI Mobility FireGL V5250

ATI Mobility Radeon X1700

► remove from comparison ATI Mobility Radeon X1700

The graphic card ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 for notebooks is the successor of the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600. It achieves a higher performance with same current consumption due to strained Silicon. Due to additional pixel- and vertex-pipelines the performance is clearly above the X1600 and therefore sufficient for all games in 2006 with medium and high settings. The direct competitor ought to be NVIDIA GeForce Go 7700 but the performance was compareable to the 7600.

Also a XT variant with a probably higher clock (codename M66-XT) was planned but did never arrive.

The Avivo video engine helps the cpu in decoding (HD) videos.

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.

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.
