3dmark05

good lord. My AMD machine gets a paltry 3xxx. Can anyone run 3Dmark05 on the higher-end MBP?
 
where did you get 7194 from?

wallaby - the mbps all have the same gpu so it won't really make a difference
 
This is 1280x1024? Not 1440x900 I guess?
Why not 3dmark06?

XFX 8600 GT gives 11246 @ 1280.
That card runs 620 MHz core instead of 540.
1355 MHz shader instead of 1180.
And 800 MHz memory instead of 700.

Damn 8600 GT cards are cheap btw.

The desktop 8600 GT isn't directly comparable to the 8600M GT. The 8600M GT 256MB version gets around 7700 in 3DMark05, and the one in the Asus G1S got just above 3800 in 3DMark06 (someone with a Zepto managed to overclock the 8600M GT a bit to get above 4000 in 3DMark06 though).

I know it's not, I just wanted to know how much slower mobility version would be over desktop version.

But if the core on this one runs 100mhz slower and 400mhz slower ram why would there only be 500 points in difference with the asus? Shouldn't it be a little more? Anyway I hope someone figures this out for sure real-soon-now, if it's underclocked that sucks but atleast people might be able to get some more performance out of it instead... Hopefully not only in Windows ;/

Stupid Apple ;/, just give us the number on your spec pages, even when you suck.

Well, I don't know what the clocks are of the 8600M GT in the Asus G1S; it's possible it isn't running at the full clock speeds either. Or just that the difference in clockspeed doesn't make as much difference in real-world performance.

But looking at the early results, 3DMark05 and 06 scores, etc. it looks like the 8600M GT in the MBP is performing very well indeed.

From this site, it looks like the core of the G1S is slightly overclocked from 475 to 513MHz and the Memory is at reference level at 700MHz (1400MHz effective).

Do you know where in the thread that was shown? I know that when GentechPC has been doing those benchmarks he's been doing various overclocks to see how far it could be pushed.

Well, depends on tastes. The G1S is designed as a "gaming" laptop, so it's supposed to appeal to hardcore gamers, hence the green lights, carbon fibre patterns, etc.

Well I guess hardcore gamers have bad tastes then :p

I'm a gamer and I wish gaming oriented laptop companies understand the need for more "universal" good design. e.g. Apple and Sony. While some may call both the G1S and the MPB beautiful, it's much harder to call the MPB ugly than the G1S.

Anyway, there's something fishy about the 3dmark score vs the reported gpu clocks. I'm guessing that the reported clocks are somehow off considering how a couple programs crash when trying to look at GPU info.

It's the first post...in the picture below where it says G1S 3DMark06 at 1024X768 Score no overclock:4746, then look at the first graph.
 
I got 2438 with my oc-ed x1600 on my MBP, and I really wish I hadn't bought my MPB 6 months ago!! I want the 8600M GT :(
 
3DMark 05 Score

I got a 3DMark 05 score of 9714 on XP Pro. And I'm trying to get higher as we speak. I overclocked my 8600M GT 256mb to 568MHz core and 880MHz memory clock using RivaTuner.

USING THE FOLLOWING:
MacBook Pro 15"
Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4GHz
4096MB DDR2 667MHz
nVidia 8600M GT 256MB (O/C)
160GB 7200rpm HDD
Mac OS X 10.5.1 Leopard
Windows XP Professional SP2
