    and everything is factory right out of the box. No need to OC the GPU or CPU (though the CPU is OCed by MSI already)

    Still want more than just 3D Marks, but the data from Far Cry looked promising.

    What v of 3dmark06 do you use? I dl'd v110 from guru3d, is that one fine or is there another v i should look for? I'm getting my 627 tomorrow and curious how much weaker it'll be for the same price. (I prefer it for the 15.4 tho.)

    Those benches look good, but it seems a bit erratic and unstable. His screenshots shows the non-turbo benchmark run diminishing in average fps after the first run. Usually, the opposite is supposed to happen. But then again, this is one of the first GT725s out there, so there are things to work out.

    Yeah there are 2 US versions. One is 1599 the other is 1349.
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001N44U9E/interactiveda8789-20

    The specs of the ones that are released in the UK are similar to the 1349 US version.

    BTW the 3Dmarks is over 10k now!!!
