    Had this up in the official thread, but I figured hey, why not, lets start a gaming benchmark thread.

    Throw up screenshots, FPS, games, etc.




    So I hooked up my lovely new M860TU to my television today.........

    I LOVE this laptop ^^.

    I'll get FPS numbers for UT3 in a sec. Feel free to steal/use these pics as you wish, no credit needed. TV is the Sony XBR 2007 model 40", if anyone is interested to know xD.


    UT3 FPS @ 1920x1080:

    Lowest: 36
    Average: 45
    Highest: 60

    awesome brother. picking mine up early next week. I love UT3 as well. with a BB coupon i'm picking it up for 10 bucks! Generally they are for sale at best buys for 20 bucks which is not bad IMOP. Great game if anyone hasn't played it yet - highly recommended.

    Haven't played it yet. But I love the original Unreal Tournament. One of my all time favourites. Now I will be able to play this with max settings. That will be a nice feeling. :)

    Argh, I've waited for over 4 months for this laptop. But now I understand when people say that the last night of waiting can always be the longest.

    I need to get some sleep.

    Counter strike source is at a rock solid 60 FPS with vsync on (which caps it at 60 due to refresh rate)

    About to run it without vsync.


    edit: about 80-200 FPS without vsync.

    How can you play at this resolution if your screen is only 1680... :eek:

    And what about the 3dmark06 and the temps :D ?

    He must be playing on a television as that resolution is 16:9, no 16:10 like most laptops have... (the laptops in 16:10 would be 1920:1200)

    Yep. check out the pictures up top, I was playing on a 1080p television.

    While the M860TU's screen is capped out at 1680x1050, that doesn't stop the graphics card from outputting 1920x1080 or similar to an external display.


    3dmark crashed on me for whatever reason, but I'll get gaming temps in a few hours for you.

    Couple of buddies are coming over for a small LAN, so I'll have min/max temps from a day of gaming xP.
