Suppose to be an interesting card to overclock. If anyone is not going to, its not worth the money to upgrade from 9800 to 2XX.

I'm expecting the arrival of my GTX 280m from R&J Tech next week. So if you'd really like to buy one, get it from RJ Tech. Doesn't come cheaply though.

I'd say the difference in performance between 2 mxm structure of the gtx 280m MAY be negligible, might be wrong though. I see that you have a 9800m GTX, so I think the performance increase isn't going to be big. However I am currently utilizing a 9800m GTS. 64 shaders vs 128 shaders, there got to be something right?

Yea, The only thing lacking in my system now is processing power. With all the refresh done by Intel, I was hoping the prices of processors would drop considerably... but I guess that won't be the case.

Finally got the GTX 280m in my laptop, here're some screenshots.

Clocks @ 550/1350/920 EDITED [10 June 2009]
 
I've underclocked the core and shader as I'm using setFSB to overclock my CPU, thereby overclocking the core and shader. The underclock was done so that the clocks gained via the increased FSB balance out. I've looped each test except for the CPU ones 50 times, total hours taken to accomplish all the tests were 5 hours +. The maximum temp I got from the GPU-Z log was 81c, not too shabby for a high end card huh? The 3d mark 06 score is 10500, give or take 50 points. It may seem like there's not much gain from the 9800m GTS O/C (10200), however, in-game performance wise, this thing blew the 9800m GTS away. I'm done with ATItool's artifact scanning, ran it for 3 hours and no error encountered, with a stable temp of 77-78C. I guess this proves that the GTX 280m is stable in the NP8660, eh?
