    hey guys i just bought a XPS 16 threw the dell outlet and im curious as to how it performs in games and benchmarks with newer updated drivers. im only planning on doing some mild gaming on it but im also slightly curious as to how well the HD3670 overclocks.

    id like to see some 3dmark 05/06 numbers as well as numbers from some popular games like Crysis Warhead, left for dead, Assassins.Creed, Unreal Tournament 3, Call of Duty:World at War and so on.

    if you guys could provide numbers for any of these id really appreciate it :)

    thanks

    Oh when you say XPS 16 i presume your talking about the studio XPS 16 right, if not then ignore the above post.

    Mind you Mtness is using the Wled screen. So automaticly the free version of 3dmark06 will test at 1280x800. If your using the RGB 1080p screen it tests at 1280x1024 and you see a score of about 4500
