was going to post this in notebook forums, but i would like a rough idea how fast the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT is on a laptop i've ordered. (It's a HP blueray laptop, and wasn't buying it for gaming, but was wondering if i'll be able to play some "older" title on this laptop/GFX card:)

The performance is pretty awfull on that, allthough for a notebook, maybe playing some games whilst not at home now and again its fine I'd have thought.

Certainly better than this Emachines laptop I seen on a shopping channel today :p, Vista, 1GB ram, celeron, they even put a game on with a plane or something, and they where like this is brilliant yet it was pure lag all over the place, thats intel graphics for you :p


Well its a HP Pavilion DV7-1020EA 2.26 cpu, 4 gig ram, Vista "64" (was deliberating over that for a bit). 320 gig hd. And according to some of the benchmarks posted above, gets nearly 4000 marks on 3DMark2006

(My old desktop, FX-55 Athlon, with ATI X850XT gets about 2200), so it should handle: Farcry, COD2, NFS Most wanted, Crys.....;) - or game over a year old shouldn't it? (Will try Dirt/GRID by codemasters just to see how they perform though, as some games - like "DiRT" are CPU intensive games. DiRT won't actually work at all on my old system, because of the SM3 absence on the X850XT.

The inclusion of Blue-RAY is nice though, as i can watch planet Earth it in All it's blue-ray glory. Not sure what "p" i'll get ( as in 1080p/720P, because its a 1440x900 res on a 117" screen.
