    Who's benchmarked with this and what was your score? I just compared mine to a friends his system is just like mine except he has an 8800m and I don't but I managed to outscore him by 300-400 points! Oh I do have the 1gb turbo memory which he doesn't could that be it?

    how about you guys? Your scores?

    no, the turbo-cache memory won't effect the 3d benchmark. What were the scores? Most likely, there was something going on with his system, causing his score to be lower. Not to rain on your parade - but the 8800m is a strong measure more powerful than the 8700.

    the 8800m Gtx is even stronger than the 8700m in sli. it shouldnt be possible for your 8700 to beat his 8800. most likely his 8800 has problems.
