    Yeah i have been wondering about a driver update for sometime now (8800M). Anything out yet that actually increases performance? Everything i have tried cuts it in 1/2.

    With stock, u should pwn anyone one, even a Desktop 8800 GT. Also, if u want to find info on a large thread, use the search function.

    My understanding so far is that stock drivers work the best. If you need to reinstall though, you might try looking specifically for "167.43" because those were better than the drivers that the Sager CD asked me to install. I think they're more or less stock drivers.

    Increased my WEI Gaming Graphics from 4.x to 5.8 and my 3dMark06 by about 1000 (to 9000-ish).

    You might also post a question like this in the large thread instead of making a new one, that's the reason it's there. Of course it seems to drop off the front page sometimes, but I don't know if they ever sticky owner's lounges.

    There is no pwning a 8800GT desktop here. The 8800m GTX is a good card, but not as good as a 8800GT which has more shaders and higher clocks.

    ya the 8800GT is still faster, as this is just a 'downgraded' 8800GT

    No, i think they are about the same.

    A E6600 8800GT gets a 10.0 - 10.2 K. If the proccesor is a T7700, it should be scoring about 9.5K, which is what the 8800m GTX scores.

    Same scores maybe, but who cares about 3D mark? Except for E-peen.

    The desktop 8800GT has 112 stream processors as opposed to the 8800m GTX´s 96 and the 8800GT has higher clock rates, shader clocks too. It is what they perform in games that count and the 8800GT definitely performs better than the 8800m GTX. But yeah you could say they are almost the same, still there is hardware difference.

    I think the 8800GT had around 1650 in shader clocks if I am not mistaken, could be an factory overclocked card of course, or stock speeds. But you should be able to push the shaders for the 8800m GTX to around 1512 without any probs, maybe even higher before starting to artifact :)

    I pushed my 8700m GT in SLI in the shader area to 1620 :)
