    I scored a 8323.. I wasn't sure if that was good for having a 1.5ghz T5250 core 2 duo or not.. But then i saw this Asus G1S Gaming Notebook review with a faster 2.2 T7500 processor, and it scored a 6061..

    How can i have scored higher than a 2.2ghz Asus having the same video card?? Everything is stock configured on my notebook.

    3DMark tests your graphics performance. What kind of graphics card does your laptop have?

    EDIT: The Asus had a NVIDIA 256MB 8600m GT

    How many of these 3dmark threads are you going to make :confused: ? All you had to do was go back to one of your previous ones and post it there. There is no need to create a new thread each time you do something else with 3dmark! Greg already told you there is no need to create multiple threads about the SAME topic. I know you are excited about your new notebook but please be reasonable.

    Sorry about that Evolution.

    hey msiner.. I have the same 256 8600m GT as the Asus.. Maybe the Asus does not have turbo cache?

    That's the only thing i can think of?

    There could be many factors that lead to the difference. I don't know how much it would affect the scores, but maybe they had all of the Aero glass and such on. Or maybe they did not bother cleaning up any preinstalled software on the machine where you might have. See if you get a lower score when all of the Vista "eye-candy" is turned on.

    Actually.. I havn't cleaned anything up... The notebook is fresh right of the box.. What ever is on/off came that way.

    Could someone else with a 1.5ghz 5920G run 3DMark03 and let me know there score. That would be great!
