i9300 HL2 Stress Test Results

First column is the valve "recommended" settings, second column is my recommended settings (e.g. Who the hell needs anti-aliasing at 1920x1200[:0])

3rd column is the recommened settings with the water reflection turned to reflect all.

would you mind giving us the results with water detail on also? just curious...

 

Hey chips can you post some results with the water detail turned on high as well? Thanks.

 

Done.

Weird, the full reflections actually cost less than the simple ones [ ]

I would like to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH! for these tests.

 

dang those are some nice numbers!! Glad to know that this notebook will be able to handle Half-Life 2 nicely! Glad i decided to return my I9200 and get a I 9300, i even got a better deal and system for 600 dollars cheaper!

Thanks!!

These numbers sure look very, very nice... and with a little bit of overclocking...[ ]

One thing I would like to know now, however, is how the framerates would be if you turned off AA in your "my recommended settings" test.
AA is not very important at 1920x1200, but 8xAF REALLY makes a difference... and I think it's the AA that cost the most frames.
If you have the time, could you just do this one test? [ ]

 

I quadruple that, thanks chips!! good numbers. and congrats on your upgrade deathmojo. i'm still in the build stage for mine. stupid dell.

 

Yeah i was hoping for a quick turn around like my 9200 but my guess is my 9200 came from in the states because i got it less than 6 days after ordering it. O well, im set to get it shipped on the 21st of march for my 9300. I opted for the 1.86 instead of 2.0ghz processor because i didn't think the performance difference for 200 dollars was worth it.

Chips can you please post your results in 3DMark 2001? That would be REALLY nice of you! Download it here:

I'm very happy to see those results. I would love to see the 3Dmark. Seems to be what all of the magazines use for their benchmarks.

 

Since you have the 9300(if im not mistaken), can you please varify the truelife screen features... Is it glossy like the xbrite screen? Also can you try running this and see what you get on 2M decimal points for Pi

I was wondering what the core and memory clock speeds are for Dell's version of the Go6800.
Also, are you happy with the screen quality, brightness, etc... of this version of the wuxga+?
