    Just wondering if with modded drivers and overclocked how well can this mobile card play cod4, tf2, and cod5? And how well? I have tried to look for benchmarks on this card but I couldn't find any. thanks

    I had one with a wxga screen and it did alright, but I wouldn't recommend buying one now with everything else available.

    If you do get one, get the XT, the standard 2600 uses DDR2.

    I got an HD2600 DDR2 on this laptop I have and it runs those games fine.
    I run all the games at 1280x900,
    tf2 all high, 0AA, 0AF. average fps about 35-40 i think
    cod 4, mostly high, few things low like soft shadows off, average fps about 30
    I havent played cod5 but i hear its the same engine and and pretty much the same as cod4 so i would expect similiar results.

    Dont trust that notebookcheck.net site...imo

    Well I got a T7500 which is 2.2GHz but I have the DDR2 version of the 2600 and you have the DDR3, Im not sure what if it will make that kind of difference though that you have...
    Im not overclocking though so maybe that will make a difference also, but those numbers of yours all seem very high assuming we are playing on the same settings. But very nice result ;)

    What drivers are you using? My lappy is not overclocked hate overclocking it just decreases the life span of the laptop. The drivers im using are the 8.12 modded drivers. GDDR3 memory means higher memory clock speed. EX. ddr2 400mhz. ddr3 500mhz. Something like that if im not mistaken maybe someone can correct me on that.
