Nvidia GeForce 8800M-GTS Query? Please Answer?

Question

I'm receiving a laptop with this above graphics card and I really need your replies.

Does this graphic card have TurboCache, if so how much? Also is it safe to say the graphic card will last well into the next 3 years of future gaming like sims 3, spore and cities xl? In my opinion reading reviews etc that this graphic card is high end, is that correct?

If anyone used this card before please add a comment.

Thankyou.

the 512 meg 8800m is a great gaming card. it uses a g92 which is very recent nvidia technology, and will give you great gaming performance for some time to come.

Id say you will have no probs with the games you have listed there, and its probably good for at least 12 months of good, solid performance with latest release games. You will be able to run new games for longer than that but I think 3 years is probably a bit optimistic for any single video card to keep up with the latest releases. (Im not saying you made a bad choice, but it wouldnt matter what you bought - it wouldnt keep up for 3 years, because the release cycle for video cards is about every 6 months. In less than 2 years they will be twice as powerfull as they are now. thats just the way it is with computer hardware)

Its a good gpu to get in a laptop. you've made a good choice. You will have a lot of fun with those games. enjoy your new machine!
