Videos of dv2500t NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS running games

For those wondering how games would run, here's some videos I made running a couple of games on the laptop:
HP dv2500t 14.1"
Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 2 MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
2GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
Windows XP SP2

Update:
Playing videos on Sony HDTV with HDMI.

Very informative. What were the settings, if I might ask?

 

Sorry, I updated it now with more info.

 

Processor speed and RAM info would be nice too

 

There you go. I'm quite happy with it and I especially love the HDMI port for playing it on the big screen! I just tried it out and it's crystal clear quality (who needs nexgen consoles anyway). I'll upload a video of that later when I have more time.

 

With no offense meant, the fact that HP only offers the 8400M GS on their lower-end, and not even a GT on their higher, is really kind of insulting. The machine could do so much more.

 

Awesome, thanks I was curious to know, because my replacement HP will be coming in a week and a half or so with a GeForce 8400M GS. And now that I see you have basically the same system I'll be getting, except for screen size, I know exactly what to expect. Since I'll be using it as an Xbox360 substitute.... until GTA4 hits I just have to hope it actually works! It is my third HP, second replacement, after all...

Now heres another question for you. Does it have proper HDMI? I mean, do you get both sound and video through HDMI or do you have to connect another cable for audio too?

 

awesome man...thx for sharing

 

Did hp remove the 128mb nvidia 8400 video card for the dv2500t? All I see is a "64MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS".

 

See this thread.

 

Thanks for the link. Very informative.

 

Nice, I love them,
I've always want to do some game tests, but never can get this many games
Thanks!

 

I just uploaded some videos showing the HDMI in action. I'm sure you'll get audio too as that's what HDMI is for (video and audio signal); but my HDTV only has a DVI, so unfortunately for me, I can only get the audio from my laptop (I'm using a DVI-HDMI cable from monoprice, best place to get cables).

 

bump. How about others posting videos of other games I don't have too? lol

 

How do you get GoldenEye 007 64 running on your laptop? I would love to play it on mine.

 

Emulator. Only legal if you own the game for the N64.

 

Oh I see. I actually do have the game, which is why I want to play it on my laptop as well. Would you care to elaborate on where I can find the emulator and stuff? If not, that's ok as well, as I feel this may be against some forum rules.

 

Google is your best friend there.

 

i was just wondering... where did you get the driver for that nvidia 8400M GS?

Im trying to find a good one too for my 6500t nvidia 85400M GS

 

Stickies...stickies...read the stickies...

 

holy crap - im impressed!

i just ordered a system with the 8400m gs and, of course, now that its too late - i started wondering if i should have gone with the 8600m gt

now, im not a gamer at all - but you never know - new laptop with new possibilities (this is my first notebook computer with discrete graphics - so gaming was never even an option before - lol)...

anyway - it looks like this thing is gonna be able to handle anything ill be throwing at it and more

thanks for the post!
