    Hey guys

    I just tested my m6400, QX9300 with a 3700m. I am seeing a P5890, where my CPU score rocks @ 28889, my GPU looks a little sad. Anyone have thoughts, does this look proper?

    There is not much a difference between this card and the FX3800M, when dell brings out the 2 gig quadrocard based on fermi then i will consider it.

    Well, the 3700M is simply a 9800M GTX without it's pipelines cut, and clocked a bit higher on the memory, with a quadro driver optimized for openGL. So don't expect much of from 3Dmarkvantage which tests for mostly pure power.

    What he said. The Precisions are not really something to buy if you're going to obsess about Vantage scores.

    True, no obsessions here ;) Look at the CPU score. That's 99% of where my daily life is bound up, in CPU hits compiling/launching programs. It sure would be nice to be able to boost the video a bit though :)

    Hey Hey i have overclocked the card and everything and for almost a year i played all games at stocked clocks, i just recently a bit ago installed the desktop quadro drivers and overclcocked the card at a decent setting, i still only get like 30-40 FPS a second on 1200P, not bad, i just haven't done a lot of this due to finals. I would like to get a M6500 or Hp elitebook 8470W with that firepro card, the 3800M is just well just about the same as this.
