    Count each scene separately. Mine would be 195.61|156.62|233.41|138.09.

    Now those numbers are closer to mine. I don't think my GPUs were OC'ed for the runs so you should be able to surpass it.

    I'm just saying it because I OC'd everything for Vantage and 06 but I didn't do it for the gaming benchmarks. Beat my score so I have something to beat when I get my system. I'll also get a hold of FC2.

    Edit: I'll just continue to sit around and wait.

    i'm sorry you have to wait so long.

    the cpu has some thing to do with the gpu scores also. but not alot.

    but i have to go to work at 1am. it's 11am now. but i am installing some more games for later on. i am installing unreal tournament 3, crysis, crysis warhead, lost planet, RE5 demo. and anything else i can find that has a benchmark on it.

    sign me up for it. what are the requirements.

    3dmark06 keeps going up and down it's not stable like my sager np9262 was. i have to figure out why. it's not bad as my whitebook but it could be better.

    Are there any better GPU drivers and/or vBIOS than stock that wont break the hybrid graphics? If need be I can change to bench, then change back for general use, but I was wondering if there is something better for everyday OC performance.

    OK. Alittle bored. I am having problems with NST because I decided to mess with drivers.....

    i'm focusing on 3dmark06 today. It's old but it's quick to run and easy to figure out.

    i'll be back.

    i'm trying to but I just uninstalled my video driver and since then it's been hell. I got lock ups and some more stuff. Trying to get the 280m and the 9400m together is much harder then I thought. I installed a antivirus but I took it back off cause i'm having a big software conflict.

    i'll contunie testing after I get this issue fixed.

    So where are those 4870 cf benches?? C'mon, guys bring 'em on! We MUST hit 20k! Don't sit idle! Would be nice to have one of those QX9500 test samples that never made it to production/market. It would be scratching the Bloomfields level (probably that was 1 of the reasons why Intel decided not to put sticks into it's own wheels) Just a mere speculation, of course.... :(

    Allright, here is a new high for me, special thanks to Crylo for giving me something to chase (not quite ready to start making aspirations to the 12k club yet :) ) and of course Scook and Mandrake for their constant help and advice.

    Next goal- 11.5k ;)

    I know, but this is my limit i think. Or maybe better drivers? Which are the best drivers @ the moment?
