AVADirect's Clevo W860CU: Mobility 5870 vs. GTX 285M
by Dustin Sklavos on June 3, 2010 11:25 PM EST3DMark Performance
As a rehash of gaming performance, 3DMark is still nice to run as a quick sanity check. The G92 behind NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 285M may have been around for more than two-and-a-half years, but it has had a consistently impressive run during that time, continually producing excellent performance. On the other hand, the Juniper GPU powering the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 boasts what amounts to a DirectX 11-class version of the same hardware that successfully went toe-to-toe with the G92 on the desktop during the last generation.
Outside of the entry-level 3DMark Vantage scores, the 5870 consistently outperforms the GTX 285M. Unfortunately, like the gaming results we are underwhelmed; this isn't the sound thrashing one would expect the 5870 to give to a chip that's nearly two years old. 3DMark is also still a synthetic test; we refer you back to the earlier gaming results for a real-world test of performance.
