    Hi guys,

    I'm looking to buy a Studio XPS 1340, the one with the 9400m/210m. I am wondering if any of you can run 3dmark06 while the 210m + 9400m Hybrid SLi is enabled? Maybe post a screen shot of the score.

    Thanks!

    Don't buy it. I had that laptop and it sucks. The hybrid graphics is a gimmick does not improve performance at all. I mostly used the 9400m for gaming because i saw no improvements with the other graphics and it felt like it was stuttering with it enabled.

    Did you have the model with the 9200m + 9400m or the 9400m + 210m model?

    Thanks for replying!

    It's not that bad, I have one but it's just been sitting since I got my XPS 14. I never did run 3Dmark vantage on it because it wanted a vertical resolutuion of 1024 for the standard benchmark.

    When a game could use both cards in SLI the performance was ok. But using MSI afterburner you could see that in a lot of games it only used the 210m when it was turned on. Runs Minecraft great, and Source engine games. WoW ran pretty well too. For whatever it's worth it gets a Windows score of 5.9 with the second card turned on. Amazing, no, adequate yes.
