    O_O ^_^

    Woah... reading this thread I think I've just made up my mind about which laptop to buy....plus my conclusion is that the cpu is only a problem in multiple character games, like RTS's and RPGs (not really..but), and I dont really plan on playing rts's or rpgs on the PC, there are consoles for that ;) and the gateway is exactly what I want, a Cheap solution for gamers wanting to play next-gen games....on the...go!.

    :D

    thanks for the benchmarks for crysis, Bioshock and CoD4 XD

    You must be aware of something, you should check out the GPU score of that laptop in 3dmark06 score, not the overall score cause you know that 3dmark06 gives way much score for CPU (i'm talking about those lappies with X9000)

    yes..you should check out the gpu score...mine is
    5100/4880/2720
    gpu/gpu/cpu


    and 3dmark06 gives about a 300 point difference per cpu
    example:
    x9000=11079
    x7900=10859
    x7800=10658
    t9300=10333
    t5450=9460

    scores based off my system and a 3dmark06 calculator only!!


    it's an 8800m gts card, so for most of the games it's doing most of the work(key word, most)

    just because i own a porche doesn't mean i have to ride around with a volkswagen engine just because it fits.... :D

    erm what i'm talking about is that when i'm on stock speeds of my t7200 (2ghz) and SLI 7950gtxs i get 8400 points, but when i do a little OC to2.2 ghz i get 9045 points -.- thats 600 points difference for 200 mhz, also check out Quadcore 3dmark06 with a GT VS dual core, its like 1500 points difference in score with no actual game performance difference, also do you mind posting a screen with you scoring 9460 with that sh i tt y CPU? a laptop with 8800GTX BARLEY does that score with its higher end proccessor, unless that test was @ 800x600 lol

    key word "examples" and not facts

    i would have to go back and put that chip back in...i might do it in a bit.

    this was my stock score with 1.66 mhz with old drivers
    http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=6220211


    i do not use anything less thatn 1280x800 and then that is pushing it. i only do those scores to keep up with everyone having 1440 screens or smaller.


    check my sig for current 3dmarks. they are up to date as of this week.

    3D Mark 06 is heavily dependant of the CPU. I mean I have 10600 with 8800m GTX SLI and with a 2.4 Core2Duo at 1280x1024, but on the other hand I have 9400+ at 1920x1200 :)

    You mean putting in a 8800m GTX into the Gateway notebook? Are there any compatible 8800m GTX´s that fits in the Gateway?

    it's just wishful thinking on my part. they would need to come with a new mother board with the chip already on it. and geared for our fx series as an upgrade. and i would probably go and upgrade on the spot. :D

    you we're right.

    but the funny thing is...over clocked at 630/930 and not over clocked at stock 500/800 it changed nothing.

    i tried a bunch of different clocks and still nothing, although it scored very high in frame rate for canyon flight at 41+ frames. and it plays crysis at all medium at 1920x1200 averaging 15 to 40+ frames. (dx9) and in fire fights and not just standing around looking at the beach. *LOL*

    that CPU is bottlenecking , to get full use of it you'll need 2ghz-2.4ghz CPU, anything above will just give you some points in 3dmark06 that arent there in games real world

    Yes although it only bottlenecks in low resolutions. Playing in High 1680x1050,1920x1200 most of the GPU does the work and less work on the CPU. Same with my 8800m GTX SLI setup. I am heavily bottlenecked at lower res with my 2.4 Core2Duo. But at higher res the GPU´s has to work hard putting less strain on the CPU :)

    umar,

    are you running the 174.74 with the HP specific INF from laptopvideo2go? I have tried everything from 169...on up to latest 175's and the 174 gives me by far better performance across the board. And I have to use the HP INF or I don't get the same results.

    everything is set to the highest it can go.

    fsaa=4x
    anisotropic=16x
    vsync=on
    screen size=1600x1200

    i said 35 because that's the lowest it would dip to.

    Here ya go...you have to read the directions. Particularly the part where YOU HAVE TO SET your card memory to 512. The code line is about half-way down, a stand alone line under a long list of gpu codes. Cheers

    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15094

    The download link is at the very bottom of the first post. Don't pay attention to the date of the post, the INF was updated May 3rd.
