Guest Windless Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I have a DELL XPS M1330 with an Intel Core2 Duo @ 2.2GHz, 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 SDRAM, 160GB SATA 5400RPM HDD, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, GeForce 8400M GS 128MB w/ Total Available memory 895 MB. I'm also using a bluetooth mouse and headphones. So far my 3dmark06 scores have been: FW 101.43 1254 (DELL driver) FW 158.45 1333 FW 163.44 1372 More practically in Oblivion with Medium settings I've had 12 fps, 16 fps, 21 fps respectively. Is this normal? it seems low to me considering the hardware. If anyone knows that a different FW version might help please let me know. Also I've never really used Bluetooth before this laptop so I'm not sure if this may be sucking up resources, but I doubt that. Any ideas are welcome Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphie Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) I've got the same system, though with T5250 the videocard is just that slow, nothing you can do about that Edited October 7, 2007 by Raphie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Windless Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 That's what I was afraid of. Oh well. I'm just glad that the FW 163.44 seems stable and has given me a bit of boost. Still some reviews had the stock comp getting slightly higher scores, but who knows what affects those day-to-day, the phase of the moon, the relative humidity, sunspot activity :) Thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smax Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 You may even want to try 163.69. It has the tweaks of 163.44 but it's the official release from nVidia so it may be a little more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
