Just download 3dmark06, run it, then run CPU-Z and GPU-Z alongside it.

Here's another on my m15x, but with the integrated card this time.

Bro, I think there's something wrong with your reading. P8600 should give the same or superior performance to my T8300. Sure you weren't running on power saver mode or anything like that? 900 for your CPU score is too low, it should be approximately 2k.

And also, if possible you should try to use FRAPS to get framerates if you want to benchmark games. Otherwise it's subjective opinion. Some people are happy with 30FPS. Others demand 60. Only numbers don't lie.

And also, OEM drivers tend to be released very slowly. Try other sources for drivers, such as official ATI drivers.

edit: Damn my slow typing. Try to disable Intel SpeedStep.

@blackmarket: Any chance your screen doesn't support that resolution?

@zorbyss: Make sure your lappy isn't on power saving mode, keep it plugged in, turn of Intel SpeedStep if you can. Otherwise you can use RMClock to do it, Google up a guide. It isn't too tough.

Bro, why 32-bit OS la? That's a monster of a lappy. With 2GB in VRAM, how much memory can your lappy access? 2 from RAM, 2 from VRAM?

Ahh, I see. The E8600 isn't a desktop cpu-alike, it IS a desktop CPU xD. With that and 9800m GTX in SLI, that must suck 4 times my power. I'd hate to see the size of your power brick

I learn new things everyday

Sure, why not? There's two up already

Post up what laptop you're using and the specs as said on the first page? xD

Don't forget to include what reso you ran 3dmark on. And also, no screenshots means you wont get on the list.

I've got a Quanta motherboard under this hood

Wow. Impressive. But please post in this format.

Laptop Model | CPU model | Amount of RAM | GPU model and VRAM | Driver version | OS name | 3D Mark Resolution

Game name | Graphic Settings | Resolution | Result

Uhh... that's a stability test. It will keep looking for errors so long as you don't stop it.

My laptop gets to 90++

I use nvidia's nTune. ATI tool is actually better cause it lets you test for artifacts in real time. Don't worry la, just go in small steps if you're afraid. Worse case scenario you have to reboot your laptop. Yes, using a cooler. But a lousy one.

OC whose card? My card OC-ed is around 10k. Another user here with a HD4650 OC-ed to 8k.

Nothing special and nothing horrible about Quanta. They're just another motherboard manufacturer, but for mobiles.

Question, people with 9600m GTs. Hows your performance in NFS: Shift?

Haha, kinda expected it. The clocks were too low for the memory to make much of a difference. Anyone tried overclocking core + shader?
