    well done, congrats!

    ummm, very high is far from playable sir...*LOL* (playable meaning: fluent play)

    so just a simple 1920x1200 on high will do nicely for the masses..*LOL* quit showing off you very high. *LOL* you still didn't beat my final very high scores for a gt yet. *LOL* stock

    Thank you though John. not too many laptops surpass the 15k mark in 3Do6 almost 15,100 =). But I cant really take crdit for it. It was Marks new bios along with a video tutorial on how to whipe the old one completely and re-install teh new one.

    from mhooper new 3dmarks score...

    I think you got that point because of cpu oc to 3.1 ghz not from new driver. you oc your cpu 300 mhz that can push the 3dmark points so much

    Won't overclocking degrade the life of the NB or is that just a myth that people have about overclocking?

    It still is my Quad chip.

    Game play is much much smoother with the new drivers. I will post some framerates for you guys. It is awesome. I have to run Furmark and a few other things today.

    OC'ing will eventually accelerate the rate of degradation of the CPU if it's done frequently or for long periods of time. It's a little like running your car's engine on nitrous - a little whiff every now and then is not going to significantly accelerate the degradation of your motor, but if you're constantly holding that little red button down for minutes at a time (yeah, I know, it's an exaggeration - but it illustrates the point rather graphically :D), you'll be buying a whole new block (at least) pretty soon.

    Very nice. And thank you. I was wondering about the blurring, looked almost like you took the shots with a digital camera while moving about slightly. Wasn't sure if you meant the blurring was due to your "messed up" cards.

    they will start working on it tomorrow. they picked it up today. i think i finally figured out how to unlock the gtx power, but i couldn't tell if that we're fact or fiction due to how my cards, cable or card slots we're running.

    the first run is always like that. I think maybe because its loading the textures in the memory still? Not sure but its common. I cant run a dx10 because im not gonna shell out 40 bucks or so on game ill never play, but for me the demo doesnt like these cards on dx10.

    Does 3dmark take advantage of looping like the crysis demo? I just messed with driver stuff turning the ai off standard and advanced. I think it mainly just the oc on the cpu you can see vs e-wrecked his sm 3.0 is higher but my cpu is higher. I dont really understand how 3d06 calculates it all.
