XPS m1710 is a laptop, and it has a special kind of the video card, so called Go version. There is no Nvidia Go 9800 GTX available, and the card for a desktop will not fit your laptop.
It should be.
The GTS 250 is much better. The GTS 250 is similar to a 9800 GTX.
it is a good and smooth card. i had it in a laptop and it's great aslong as you are not a hard-core gamer.if you are then go for a Nvidia GeForce 9800
Try Nvidia's 9 series (like geforce 9200 or 9800 for gamers) they also came out with a heavy duty card. geforce 350 to handle the modern day games. But cost 500 bucks.
the 9800gtx is better
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M For NEWER gaming id say 9800 gx2. for OLDER probably 9800gtx or 8800 ultra
The GTS 250 is better than the 9800 GT low end. Mid and high grade 9800 equal out with the 250 but the high end 250( or just go with a 260) beat the 9800 full out.The GeForce GTS 250 should in theory be a bit faster (18%) than the GeForce 9800 GT in general.The GeForce GTS 250 is quite a bit (more or less 29%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 9800 GT.
According to the Oblivion website you need to have an ATI X800 series, Nvidia GeForce 6800 series, or higher video card. Here is a list of supported video card chipsets. However you can still get the game to work if your card is not listed here. * ATI X1900 series * ATI X1800 series * ATI X1600 series * ATI X1300 series * ATI X850 series * ATI x800 series * ATI x700 series * ATI x600 series * ATI Radeon 9800 series * ATI Radeon 9700 series * ATI Radeon 9600 series * ATI Radeon 9500 series * NVIDIA GeForce 7800 series * NVIDIA GeForce 6800 series * NVIDIA GeForce 6600 series * NVIDIA GeForce 6200 series * NVIDIA GeForce FX series
yes but in very slow speed you can by fx 9800 for full speed
Type of RAM and its amount usually has nothing to do with type of VRAM and its amount. So the answer is yes it can if you have appropriate slots on your motherboard and your power supply allows you to run the card.
Performance-wise, the GeForce 9800 GTX should in theory be a little bit better than the Radeon HD 4850 overall (about 10% faster).The GeForce 9800 GTX is much (more or less 47%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon HD 4850.The GeForce 9800 GTX will be just a bit (more or less 15%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 4850, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively.
i think its nvidia 9800 gs
