PS3 Graphics

it comes with an nVidia Gefore GTX 460M which plays the game a hell of a lot more smoother than my Radeon HD 5870 and they are both comparable cards.

I find that surprising as mobile edition GPUs are scaled back for power and thermal envelope restrictions on mobile computers - are you running at the same resolution? The 5870 should outperform a 460m but computers are nothing if not surprising at times.

a discrete 460 with the 1gb of memory wont outperform a 5870

Radeon Mobility GPUs are coded diferently, a 5870M is equal to (in fact a little worst) a 5670 (desktop), a 5650M is like a 5450 and so on. Nvidia on mid range cards is generally better on laptops.

A mobility 5870 is roughly equivalent to a discrete 460 (And in fact the mobility 5870 will edge it out slightly)
Mobility meaning in a laptop... discrete meaning a full card...
So it will OBVIOUSLY outperform a 460m
I know what I'm saying, you have to trust me on this one

On laptop terms a discrete GPU is the one that it isn't integrated on the motherboard and is connected by a port, it can or can't have its own memory.

Are you looking at synthetic tests are real world game FPS?
Either way, The 460m falls short
But not by much..... trading in 1 for the other wont help anyone
