    Maybe if you tilt your system a little to the left

    you'll get it over the 10k mark?!

    Well, look at what they're comparing you to...
    Beyond that, 3dmark is totally synthetic. Real world performance will vary.



    PS - Nice bookmarks toolbar. :p

    1700 shader clock W T F that's the kind of oc that the 9800's are getting!!!

    I can't even hit 1500 before I see diminishing returns on framerate. Did you mod your laptop or something?

    Not really. Just replaced the cpu, undervolted it. Lapped my heat sinks. Applied AS5, bought a good laptop cooler. i am using the new Xfastest 182.50 drivers and they are by far the best.
