so nervious

ok so ive been contemplating alot and i finally went for it and had enough money so heres what i got.

1.73ghz core duo
1 gig of ram
80 gig hard drive
bright view display
256mb go 7400
hp imprint with microphone finish
intel wireless
6 cell battery

can any one tell me what i should get on the 3dmark05 or 3dmark06 score so that i can make sure every thing works fine when it arrives?

 

notebookcheck
gpu review

3dmark03 4360
3dmark05 1900
3dmark06 800

 

Hmm.......if I can get dedicated VRAM overclocked to 450 MHz, I could match that 1900 score for 3DMark05 probably, and even higher if I have the GPU overclocked too.........gives me hope.

 

benchmarks are overrated especially since you're not going for a record and using liquid nitrogen

fps, noise, and heat are what matter for laptop video cards

Benchmarks
3DMARK01: - 88537
3DMARK03: - 62631
3DMARK05: - 27658
3DMARK06: - 17000

 

Don't base anything on synthetic benchmarks; they are overrated as rickster said, and overused.

The only way to realistically gauge video performance is to play games. So, play the games you want to play, and if they don't run smooth enough for your tastes, then try overclocking. Keep in mind that even a moderate amount of overclocking will not do a lot on a GeForce Go7400, so do not expect a game that is unplayable to begin with to suddenly become playable. It just won't happen. I don't think you will run into that problem though.

Congratulations on the notebook, I think you will be very happy with your purchase.

 

i only wanted to use benchmarks to make sure it runs right and the card or processor is a dud... but yea i know they dont really mean much in real life and thanks chaz

 

The 'world record database' needs to update... with quad core and two 8800gtxs you can get 30,000 in 3dmark06....

Err wait a minute, is that 3dmark05?

I hate all these 3dmarks...

 

I think it is 05, 06 is somewhere in the 20,000 range.
