    First, thanks to all the good knowledgeable people on this forum. Kudos! (Pulp, excellent discourse on Mobile Graphics). Now for some fun: Can anyone provide me with some fps benchmarks for the following games:
    Half-Life 2
    Doom 3
    FEAR
    Unreal Tournament 2k4
    Flight Sim 2k4
    Falcon 4.0 Allied Force

    (or any other games out there)

    Yep, I know, it's all relative to your in-game video settings, so let's keep it simple by stipulating Low, Med, Hi, or even Max settings. If this isn't the place for this question let me know and I'll post it somewhere else. Alright, enough talk! Let me have 'em! :cool:

    I'm sorry, but didn't you just buy this notebook?

    It's not hard to run these benchmarks yourself, even with the demos of these games.

    For what it's worth, I can tell you that Unreal Tournament 2004 will be playable and fluid at native with all details maxed out, no AA or AF. Doom 3 should probably run at either 800x600 Low Detail or 640x480 High Detail.

    FEAR will be 640x480 Low Detail and you'll still be frustrated with it, but it's a horribly coded game that stutters on my coworker's GeForce 6800GT anyhow.

    True, I have the notebook, but don't have the games and probably won't be able to sit down and run any demos until later this month. Just wanting to know what to expect.

    The only game I have on that list is Half-Life 2. It runs great with max settings and 1280x800 resolution and sound set at medium quality. Sometimes I run it with 2x AA... doesn't seem to take much of a hit.

    BTW, I have the newest Omega drivers with no overclocking.
