[Reference] LAPTOP GAMING Performance + Benchmarks

HellRyzer — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 00:45:33 +0800

Greetings LowYatians.

This thread is created especially for reference and discussions pertaining to gaming on the laptops, thus not necessarily meaning discussions only for gaming laptops such as ALIENWARE and DELL XPS. The objectives are as follows:

(1) to provide fast info for potential laptop gaming buyers
(2) to advise on buying laptop based on your gaming preference and budget
(3) to provide clear info inclusive of relevant benchmarks and screenshots for laptop gaming fans
(4) to dispel myths such as "this graphic cards cannot play this game"; baseless without evidence
(5) to create a conducive + healthy laptop gaming discussion environment

Benchmarks submitters are suggested to include relevant info such as:

(1) Fraps screenshots (IMPORTANT TO BENCHMARKERS) [download latest here]
(2) CPU-Z details [download latest here]
(3) GPU-Z details OR RivaTuner [download latest here and here]
(4) 3DMark score [download latest here]
(5) anything deemed necessary

Random notes:

(1) benchmarks submitters are strongly advised to only benchmark full games, not game demos in order to reflect final product performance
(2) when using Fraps software, the optimal playable frame rate in video games is at 30 fps but this is only a basis for conventional reference
(3) now, let the game begins! (cue Mortal Kombat theme)
