ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 vs ATI Mobility FireGL V5250
ATI Mobility FireGL V5200
► remove from comparison
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.
