    Interesting, especially coming from a 14" laptop! Nothing special, but it's putting out some decent numbers.

    "With a 3DMark® 2006 score of 5,431, the ASUS N81Vg delivers up to 15 times better performance than most other 14-inch notebooks, thus satisfying discerning users with a penchant for High Definition audio and visual enjoyment while on the go"

    I have a hard time believing that GPU could achieve those results considering it's basically just another rebrand/die shrink of the 8600m GT

    A similar 9600M GT score around the same.

    I am also guessing that since *most* 14 inchers have a 1280 x 800 screen that the 3DMark2006 score of 5431 was done at that resolution and not that standard 1280 x 1024. If this is correct then at 1280 x 1024 would be around 4242 which is about equivalent to:

    1. Overclocked DDR2 8600M GT
    2. Stock DDR2 9600M GT


    Just like someone mentioned, it just looks like a rebranded 8600M GT. Again this is just my estimation and guess. God Bless :)

    It's essentially an "optimized", higher clocked 9650M GT. Very impressive for a 14" notebook.
