Edit: I just ran 3DMark 03 and got a total score of 10516. Will post screenshot soon

 

your link isnt working

run 3dmark 05 and 3D mark06

 

where can I DL this? i'm stll having trouble running PCMark 04

 

Update:
Ran 3DMark 05, here are the results: http://service.futuremark.com/resultComparison.action?compareResultId=4006161&compareResultType=12
3dMark 06: http://service.futuremark.com/resultAnalyzer.action?resultId=5231113&resultType=14
PCMark 05: http://service.futuremark.com/resultAnalyzer.action?resultId=1386857&resultType=13

 

I'm not sure if those marks are relatively normal/low/high. I think the 3Dmark 06 is kind of low? I installed the newest driver from labtopvideo, but i'm not sure if i did it right, when i check the driver detail is: 7.15.11.6759. Is this the most updated driver? Btw, i plan on working on a review for the np2092, it has been AMAZING so far. On the css stress test i got 130 fps

 

dont think that is the newest driver

 

There are some more benchmarking tools mentioned here:

Also, you might want to bench your processor with wprime


Sometimes new drivers will give low(lower) scores in 3dmarks but performance in games will prove otherwise(same thing with "old" drivers)

 

what is the newest nvidia driver for the 8600m gt?

 

Hey, if you find out, please let me know too!

 

We have a thread dedicated to driver updates, see here:

The last few pages of discussion note some good drivers.

 

Thanks, i'm currently using the 196.04 driver and it has been amazing. A crazy increase in benchmark and window vista index (OC'ed only a bit - temps have been fine)
