No, the 320M is not more powerful than the 8600M. Neither is the 330M 2x as powerful.

ibd, could you post GPU-Z screenshots as well?

Has anyone tried playing Battlefield 2 Bad Company on the 320m 13"? Would this be possible?

Is the 320m better than a 310m with 1Gb of dedicated ddr3?

Not going to happen with acceptable framerates and/or high settings. Just build a PC to game on.

~ $800 and you can play ever modern game out there.

Note also that the actual 3DMark scores listed in the 3DMark06 window do not correlate very closely with the underlined "3DMarks" numbers in the window to the right.

Specifically, the one where "4916 3DMarks" is boxed in reads "3DMark Score: 6015", and the one where "6015 3DMarks" is boxed in says "3DMark score: 4927".

That's because this number shows the score of the last test. Hence the score of the second screenshot (6015) appearing in the first screenshot.

Here's some data you can compare to:

Not overclocked:

OC:

Note the resolution and clock settings.

Do you mind my asking how long you've been overclocking that card and if you've had any problems at those frequencies?

 

[ibd]

I don't play games regularly, so I can't give an exact duration. I did do some sessions of 1-2h of stressing the card playing crysis and I've had no problems whatsoever. I suggest if you want to OC to find your own frequencies still, and watch temperatures closely. Sometimes a program to control your fans can be helpful.

Makes me laugh when apple said we wanted to put great gfx in the 13" MBP, when alienware have a Nvidia GeForce GT 335M with 1GB in their 11.6 Notebook which is superior to anything in a mac.

You act as though this is the first Apple product to have lack-luster graphics.

The best GPU a Mac Pro can have is a GTX 285. Even the most powerful macs are still behind on graphics.
