What model laptop is it? Everything in the system can effect how a graphics card performs. I would agree for the most part that the ATI board would perform better, BUT since its a laptop the 8600 would drain by far alot less power off the battery when running mobile. The LCD screen size and type can also play a HUGE role in gaming performance, same as everything in the system. If the 2600xt is to powerful it can hinder performance by causing a "Bottleneck" effect. Ill be checking back tomorrow.
