    My stock 3dm06 score was 2830 and I think I have reached the upper limit with this GPU at 3676 since when I try to get a higher score with very small advances 3dm06 freezes everytime.....I would be surprised if anyone gets a higher score with a similar setup. Score was done on an Inspiron 1720...

    Be nice.

    tegman, those are really impressive scores, I commend you on your overclocking abilities.

    what speeds have you got the core and memory to, what program did you use for overclocking and what drivers are you using?

    Yeah, you guys with DDR3 are lucky, although I only spent $1200 on my notebook were you probably spent close to $3000 on your's. so I win in the price per performance category :)



    I used ntune and got to 643/515 and im using laptopvideotogo.com drivers, I tried using the new release of atitool, but it wouldn't read the GPU for some reason.....

    1999 after rebates and an edu discount. you actually still win on price/performance though. especially when you leave 3dmark.

    anyway, nice OC job. i wouldn't have the guts to OC so much.

    From what I have seen so far DDR3 8600gt's score between 3600-3800 stock in 3dmark06. So I would expect them to get 4400-4500 with a similar overclock, like mine at the top of this thread and everyone should benchmark in the 3dmark06 standard resolution of 1280x1024, so scores will be comparable!

    that's a good idea, but some laptops only go to 1280 x 800
