As we mentioned in our Fall 2003 Video Card Roundup – Part 2, NVIDIA hardware has a tendency to run jerky in X2. This is something that we have continued to experience on the mobile side. The Voodoo Envy M:855 with Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro ran X2 perfectly fine with AA and AF turned up.

No offence, but bad review.The Voodoo was put up against no real competition, so of course it won. Why did anandtech not bother with getting a Sager 5680 or 8890 to compare with, since those are P4 machines with real 9600 pros....

1) Is it hard to have the product in question (ie, the one being reviewed) highlighted in some way on the graphs? It can't be that hard to do the bar in red or whatever. Granted, when comparing the M10 to the Go5650, there's not as much sense, but when comparing 10 or so CPU's it'd sure be nice to quickly identify what stands where.2) Should the X2 performance scores with 4xAA/8xAF be taken with a grain of salt? Why does the M10 increase approx 25% going from 1024x768 to 1280x1024 ... ?
