    nice, with a desktop processor in there it would be a little higher. What did the clevo computer have that got its score above 10000?

    That's a nice score, could you run it again with default 3d Mark settings? I would like to see how that compares to my 8800 GTX desktop.

    What scores do you get by default (after realizing that it wasn't with default settings :eek:)

    Actually the strange thing is I don´t get any higher 3D Mark score running at 1280x1024. I don´t now why it is like that, anyone have any idea?

    I noticed now the last Crysis benchmark I posted there were only recorded under 1 minute, the correct one i.e full one I get an average of 33 fps so that is the correct one, not 43 fps average. Sorry about that guys, noticed it now.

    Ran 3D Mark 05 and got 15000 at 1024x768

    Ran 3D Mark 06 with 8xAA and 16xAF at 1920x1200 and scored 9700 in 3D Mark 06

    Holy ****, the 8800m GTX is a Monster.
    Figures, it takes a monster (2x 8800m GTX) to play a monster (Crysis) at a good FPS.

    Very impressive Magnus72! :notworthy:

    With no higher a score at default res, maybe 3d06 doesn't play well with SLI GTX's? Or maybe we're starting to come up to the limit of 3d06's testing abilities at that resolution?

    erm, i think default is 1280x1024, and he has 1920x1200! HUGE difference

    Update here guys, the 9700+ score were with 2xAA and 8xAF, here is the rest of the scores:

    3D Mark 06 1920x1200 8xAA 8xAF 7974


    3D Mark 06 1920x1200 4xAA 16xAF 8877


    3D Mark 06 1920x1200 4xAA 8xAF 9003

    Not too shabby :) Almost 8000 with 8xAA and 16xAF :)

    Actually when I run at 1280x1024 the SLI doesn´t work as hard as the higher resolutions, so at 1280x1024 I am CPU bottlenecked instead.

    I also raised my clocks on the 8800m GTX now to Core 625 Shaders 1674 and Mem 900 this is artifact free in ATI tool :)

    Yes I know, but what I meant was if Magnus is not getting any higher at the default res than 1920x1200, that maybe 3d06 was starting to break down in usefulnesss.

    Whereas this perhaps explains it..
    Good point! I never would have thought a laptop GPU of ANY kind could be bottlenecked by the CPU unless it was a really low Core Duo...

    MrWhereItsAt actually it is only in 3D Mark 06 I notice it, or 3D Mark 06 doesn´t couple really well with the new 8800m GTX. I think I might try Futuremarks 3D Vantage instead.

    In games on the other hand I am not CPU bottlenecked, only if I play at 1280x1024 then the SLI doesn´t work as hard, but who plays on 1280x1024 on 8800m GTX SLI? :)

    I have noticed in games too best results for the SLI yields in 1600x1200 and higher resolutions, lower the CPU becomes more and more a bottleneck, the lower you go the more CPU bottleneck you have with SLI.

    I have noticed one thing though in 3D Mark 06 Pro that it says Linked Adapter = False, this means 3D Mark 06 doesn´t recognize my SLI, but If I have the SLI bars enabled they are indeed working, but could the scores have something to do with 3D Mark 06 displaying Linked Adapter False?

    XPS1330 I will post Crysis screens when I get home from work :)

    Cmon! Just run it at 1280x1024 0xAA 0xAF although it "wont work too hard," that way at least we can compare it with the rest of the benchmarks.
