    I thought this would be a cool thread to have, so basically just name you graphics cards and other specs (or just graphics card), resolution tested at (or other settings you changed if you think they mattered) and your score.... try to put your graphics card number ( GeForce 8600, Radeon 4800, etc), resolution tested at and your score in bold for easier viewing!
    POST BOTH 3DMARK 06 AND VANTAGE IF YOU WANT!!!
    Please post type of memory and how much! Ex: 1.7GB GDDR3

    I'll start :p

    Could you post a 3DMark Vantage comparative as well?, even though 3DMark 2006 is still relevant, but it is now becoming old and does not compare newer systems quite well (3DMark 2006's first two tests are based on Shader Model 2.0...), and with the newer Nvidia Drivers, it seems like that the 3DMark 2006 performance goes down, but the 3DMark Vantage is more optimized and constant.

    By the way, Super OC'd Scores (650 MHz Core, 1,650 MHz Shader and 1,050 MHz Memory):

    3DMark 2006:

    Yes, i'll create a second section in the main post comparing 3DMark Vantage and so that way to can compare computer to computer and compare it to the old 3DMark 06, i'll do that later...

    See sig.

    It's lame, I know.

    With laptops I don't experiment that much and I certainly don't bother overclocking the gpu/cpu. I value longevity over pure performance. So my 3DMark06 score will vary solely based on driver versions.

    Edit: Added OC'd scores to my post above.

    Alright, thank you. :)

    That is not a lame score, it is a good score actually.

    Heh, I cannot overclock my CPU since the Clevo D901C has its overclocking features (SetFSB, Clockgen, etc... do not work) locked, not like that it would make a very big difference. Me too, I only overclock when I really need it (such as when benchmarking), and my cards are working as if new still.

    Thanks. By the way, Kevin Jack's "11000" score was for 3DMark 2006, not Vantage, look at the "Maximum System" score at the left, and compare it to 3DMark 2006's, it is the very same. ;)

    Also, there are "SM2.0" and "SM3.0 / HDR" scores in his ORB graph too, which Vantage does not have, only 3DMark 2006.

    This is true. The P4776 is my Vantage score.

    Once I get my GTX 260M, I expect at least 12k in 06, but not sure how much of a boost I'll get in Vantage.

    Video card: 8600M GT DDR2
    Processor: T7500 (2.2 GHz)
    Drivers: 181.20 Dox optimized
    OS: XP SP3
    Resolution: 1280x800
    Clocks: 596/400 (core/memory) [stock 475/400]
    Score: 4212

    Props for keeping the list updated - that's the problem with the other attempts at that here, is that they're never updated. May I one suggestion:

    *Seperate by resolution as well as by 3dmark version (06/08). That makes for a huge difference in results. Also require resolution to be stated on all submissions. I'd take out any results that don't have a resolution as that's really necessary to know how performance compares to other machines.

    Because really, a 1280x800 score compared to a 1280x1024 score makes the card running at 1280x800 look much better than it is. Making the reader sort through the list here half defeats the purpose of it in the first point. Certainly 1280x800 (1366x768, 1400x900, etc.) scores should be accepted - this is a laptop site, after all, but there should be seperate lists for each resolution. And that's half the trouble with the lists on other sites - they only accept 1280x1024 so for most of us laptop users with fewer than 1024 vertical pixels, the comparisons are kind of meaningless.
