GTX 280M benchmarks

3DMark06 and gaming benchmarks GTX 280M from Notebookjournal.de:

Well those scores seem disappointing. It seems That even an Ati HD4850 can sometimes keep up with it.

Quite a let down to say the least. I wonder how it will stack up against a single Ati HD4870 GDDR5 when it launches. I bet the ATi will keep up easily or perhaps even surpass it.

 

I think ATI will spank it...

 

Go ATI Go!. Yay!

 

Eh, it dominated the 4850 in Call Of Duty 5 by 16 frames, and killed it in Far Cry 2 by 11fps at 1920x1200. That's pretty telling.

The 4850 managed to win GRID and WiC by a couple frames though.

 

wow that review makes the dual 3870's look weak....when they are way more powerful than that...what did they bench the dual 3870's with a 1.6ghz core2? sheesh

 

Wow the Nvidia 8800M GTX SLI really is still hanging in there. Nice for something that is almost 2 years old.

 

Drivers probably

 

I have always found their benchmarks to be utterly useless and poorly done. My 8400GT scores quite a bit better than there one did..

 

DRIVERS!

IT IS THE PRE-ALPHA DRIVERS ! ! ! (... kidding... lol)


No but seriously, these are either beta drivers or old ones that arent optimized for 200m series

 

I dont really believe those benchmarks. I would rather wait for someone who buys it and post the results here.

 

The driver is likely just Clevo's stock 179.27; you'd have to mod a 18x driver yourself to use it. Even laptopvideo2go drivers don't have the 280M in the inf yet.

Benchmarks are already being run in the Clevo section.

The card overclocks to 660/1675/1025 easy.

 

I wouldn't say easy. The max I comfortably play games is ~625/1600/1000. 660/1690/1025 was my highest stable record for Vantage, thoroughly tested. It's definitely a great gaming card, maybe not the fastest for synthetics but when I play DX10 Crysis at tweaked VH spec or DX10 Far Cry at VH AA x2 smoothly at wsxga, I'm happy.

 

Did you ever try a lower core and shader with a higher memory? Like 625/1575/1100.

 

memory is out past 1025

 

that website doesnt have a control in there test. i believe they should have diference drivers but they should have the same cpu's it makes these test useless when comparing it to other notebooks. my farcry2 benchmarks are way better than there's but i cant compare if i have a quad at 3.2.

 

good find.

 

Lol. why don't you show them that there wrong.

 

Well, regardless of the scores here, the GTX280M is nothing more than a 9800M GTX with a bit more shaders, and higher clock speed, so the drivers are basically the same.

If it were a real GTX 280M card, it would score way higher, since the GTX280 is a beast in the desktop department. That is why, regardless of the scores the card is a mere upgrade and nothing that really impresses me.

I think I will stick to my 9800M GS for a while

 

Then wake me up when the "brand new" mobile 4800 series is dominating the old G92b chip. That's what I'm more unimpressed by at this point.

 

well if you think about it the 3870 is a old chip. i believe that ati should of put more effort to keep the cvlock speeds the same as there desktop. and the 48series really has no excuses. ati should of kept the clock speeds the same. those cards should be tearing up everything in it way by so much. every mobile cpu should of been a bottleneck for them and no matter what cpu you put in there the performance should increase.

but ati didnt. they seem to be just set on claiming back there throne they had before. i think they are not far but i think they should of done a better job. and nvidia really doesn't have any excuses, they should of been prepared for this to happen.

and hey the good news is the best gpu of all them is the 8800m gtx. it is still around but more optimized. just flash it to the 9800m gt and then to the 260m gt(i think that the same model as the other) and you still have a great card.

Quite dissapoinnting to be honest, someone unlocked the clock limits on the 4850 Mobility and had it hitting 12k in 06 hehe.

Pray the price is good for the performance it gives, however the good thing is with Nvidia, DRIVERS ARE UP TO DATE ;p

 

This makes me really proud of my sli setup!

 

you should be. nvidia has been using your same core up til now.

did you flash your gpu to 9800m gt? in the xps forum has been saying that it has improved there performance.

 

not been flashing yet. Will do soon. Even if I think it will be more about lowering gpus temps given that the cards are exactly the same.

 

Well it's really a full shader 9800 GTX+ vs a full shader 4850 both with a 20% handicap in performance. So the results are not too surprising considering the desktop results.
