    As long as you take the cpu that was used in the score into account as that makes a bid difference to the result, also the resolution the notebook ran the test is not show either.

    So take results with a big pinch of salt.

    Yes, it's a decent benchmark, but you need to dig it up. Don't just look at their "comparison list", take a look at each test used and on what machine it was used on(since they don't discriminate between DDR2 and GDDR3 GPUs or with different CPU configurations).

    They are normally pretty accurate on GPU specs though(clocks, shaders etc.)

    I used that site to narrow down a range of GPUs to look for, but the specific rankings are approximate. As suggested above, you can narrow down your selection and then get feedback from here on hardware combinations.

    They're good.

    All the arbitrary numbers aren't as useful as reading the reviews at the bottom though.

    I did the exact same thing. Eventually settled on GTX 280M, FWIW.
